2000 AD #610

From January 1989, 2000 AD Prog 610 arrives with a cover by Kevin Hopgood that crackles with menace — a snarling, steel-fingered figure levels a smoking mechanical weapon straight at the reader, while a dark-haired woman and a speeding orange vehicle fill out a night-drenched cityscape teeming with shadowy figures. The bold tagline "Knight Life… and Death in Zero City" sets a gritty, noir-tinged mood perfectly suited to the Night Zero strip continuing inside. Fans of Britain's flagship anthology will find this mid-run instalment — written by John Brosnan with art and inks by Kev Hopgood and lettering by Jack Potter — a fine snapshot of the series at full throttle.
