2000 AD #70

From the pages of Britain's most thrilling weekly sci-fi anthology comes 2000 AD Prog 70, dated 24 June 1978. Garry Leach's cover art puts you right in the action: two desperate survivors in blue jumpsuits scramble for their lives as a massive, screaming Hell-Bird lunges toward them with its huge beak agape — the tagline warning that "time is running out for the survivors on the Death Planet." Inside, Pat Mills writes and Brian Bolland illustrates "Inferno, Part 35," with lettering by Tom Frame, making this a fine snapshot of the creative talent that made 2000 AD such a compelling read in its early days.
