2000 AD #774

Prog 774 of 2000 AD hits its 14 March 1992 date with a genuinely unsettling cover by Robert Bliss — a grinning, red-striped clown looms large, red nose and all, with a small brimmed hat perched atop his head and what appears to be a bloodied figure slumped at the lower left. The tagline says it all: "They killed his buddy, shattered his life — now he's through fooling around," heralding the arrival of The Clown. Inside, Garth Ennis continues "Koole Killers, Part 3" with art from Coleby, making this a strong weekly installment from one of British comics' most enduring anthologies.
