2000 AD #684

A wild-haired warrior in partial armor hurls himself through a crimson sky alongside a massive cannonball on this Steve Dillon cover for 2000 AD Prog 684, dated 23 June 1990. The tagline "Air-Strike! Slice Has an Altitude Problem" sets a breathless, darkly comic tone that the anthology does so well, while the Harlem Heroes banner promises further thrills inside. Featuring Judge Dredd in the "Necropolis" saga with John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra on interior duties, this mid-1990 prog is a fine snapshot of British comics firing on all cylinders.
