2000 AD #58

This April 1, 1978 prog of 2000 AD spotlights Dan Dare in "Waterworld, Part 3," with a cover by Dave Gibbons that plunges readers into aquatic peril — a massive, barnacle-riddled sea creature, easily the size of a city block, looms over a tiny figures in the churning water, their motor reactors dead and utterly at its mercy. The cover text sets the scene on a water-covered planet where Dare has been captured by weird humanoid creatures, making this a visually striking weekly that earns its nine pence of Earth money.
