2000 AD #773

Jim Baikie's cover for Prog 773 sets the scene with striking tension: an alien figure in a yellow outfit crouches dramatically in open space while a massive, heavily armed spacecraft looms overhead, its guns trained menacingly downward. A glowing sun burns in the background, giving vivid context to the cover's bold declaration — "Lights Out! They've Set the Controls for the Heart of Our Sun" — teasing the high-stakes Skizz story within. With Garth Ennis on writing duties and this March 1992 installment of "Koole Killers" already into Part 2, this prog is a fine snapshot of 2000 AD firing on all cylinders.
