2000 AD #615

Prog 615 hits the stands on 25 February 1989 wearing a confident, pop-art anniversary grin — a stylized green figure holds up a copy of 2000 AD featuring Judge Dredd while sporting an "I AM 12" badge, with the cover's bold typography celebrating "12 Zarjaz Years… Dozen't Seem Like It!" Rian Hughes's sharp, graphic cover design gives the whole thing a sleek, almost-retro cool that perfectly suits a twelfth-birthday edition. Inside, Alan Grant and artist/inker David A. Roach continue "Helios, Part 2," keeping the weekly's tradition of delivering sharp British sci-fi storytelling in fine style.
