2000 AD #631

Prog 631 of 2000 AD delivers a cover that pulls no punches: a gun-toting warrior fires from the roof of a speeding armored vehicle, shouting "Eat lead, Zeppelin!" at an enormous, menacing red airship bearing down from above, while armed flying drones and walls of flame erupt all around. Kevin Hopgood's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, balancing chaos and composition in a way that makes the whole scene feel gloriously out of control. Teasing the "Death from Above in Beyond Zero" strip inside, this June 1989 issue is a vivid snapshot of 2000 AD at its action-packed best.
