2000 AD #60

This prog 60 cover by Brian Bolland throws you straight into the tension of the M.A.C.H. stories — a screaming man is gripped by the half-flesh, half-mechanical face of M.A.C.H. 2, whose exposed cybernetic jaw and single robotic eye make for a genuinely unsettling image. In the background, a suited figure (M.A.C.H. 1) looks on as the cover's bold caption declares, "M.A.C.H. 1, meet your replacement… M.A.C.H. 2!" Inside, Dave Gibbons handles writing, art, and lettering duties on "Waterworld, Part 5: The Slurrg-Mother," making this a fine slice of what British weeklies were delivering for just 9p in 1978.
