2000 AD #640

Prog 640 of 2000 AD hits the stands in August 1989 with a cover by Simon Harrison that crackles with raw energy — a green-and-yellow armored figure winds up for a devastating punch while lightning tears through the darkness around them, all rendered in Harrison's loose, visceral brushwork. The bold cover headline promises "Fist of Fury: Brothers in Arms" in a Strontium Dog story, with the dramatic red cross motif anchoring the composition. Inside, Alan Grant scripts "Triad, Part 6" with art and inks from Arthur Ranson, making this a strong slice of late-1980s British comics at their gritty, imaginative best.
