2000 AD #735

Prog 735 of 2000 AD promises a packed anthology under the banner "Ripping Yarns!", with the cover by Chris Weston setting a vivid, unsettling tone — a menacing, grimacing giant of a figure looms over a gas-lit Victorian street while a cloaked figure in a top hat strides through the fog below, bag in hand, suggesting Jack the Ripper-era dread. The cover also heralds the start of "A Killing Time for Indigo Prime" and continues the Judge Dredd feature, with Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra contributing to the interior on "Return of the King, Part 3." A fine 1991 slice of British comics at their atmospheric, genre-blending best.
