2000 AD #696

That unsettling close-up of a skeletal, green-tinted grin — filling the entire cover with the taunt "Say 'Cheese' and Die!" — sets a perfectly menacing tone for this September 1990 prog as Necropolis rolls into its twenty-third chapter. Steve Yeowell's cover art makes brilliant use of stark simplicity, letting those ghoulish teeth do all the talking. Inside, John Wagner writes and Carlos Ezquerra handles art, inks, and colors, keeping Mega-City One's darkest saga in thoroughly capable hands.
