2000 AD #588

This August 1988 prog from Fleetway's 2000 AD features a striking cover by Brendan McCarthy — a richly adorned warrior figure wearing vivid beaded jewelry and a headdress, sword raised, with a white tiger looming in the lower foreground against a swirling, otherworldly background. The "Out of Africa: The Last Man" tagline and the promise of "Tribal Memories" inside hint at an adventurous, myth-tinged tone that feels distinct even within 2000 AD's wide-ranging anthology format. With Judge Dredd anchoring the lineup alongside what's on offer this issue, Prog 588 captures the series at its imaginative, globe-spanning best.
