2000 AD #605

This December 1988 prog from Fleetway's 2000 AD spotlights the Zenith storyline "Star Maker," with cover art by Steve Yeowell depicting a lone costumed figure — small and vulnerable — caught at the heart of a vast, swirling cosmic spiral against the void of deep space. The sense of scale is breathtaking, the galaxy-like vortex dwarfing the figure completely and lending the image an eerie, almost meditative weight. Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell's "Chimera Unbound" continues inside, promising the kind of superhero storytelling that made 2000 AD such a distinctive voice in late-eighties British comics.
