2000 AD #771

Prog 771 of 2000 AD lands with an unsettling close-up that practically dares you to look away — a menacing, grinning face dominates the cover, half-obscured by what appears to be shattering visor glass, with the tagline "Face-to-Face with Justice!" setting a suitably ominous tone. Peter Doherty's cover art brings a visceral, painted intensity to the image, the fractured helmet and bared teeth making it one of the more striking February 1992 entries in the weekly anthology. Inside, Garth Ennis continues "Justice One" at Part 6, with Doherty handling the full art duties and Tom Frame on letters — a tight creative team delivering the kind of gritty storytelling 2000 AD does best.
