2000 AD #785

A wild scene of full-blown chaos dominates this 30 May 1992 prog, as a wide-eyed, terrified man flees in the foreground while brawling figures, gunfire, and a massive mechanical vehicle tear through a smoke-filled warzone behind him. The cover tagline — "Panic Attack! Down in the Dumps in Kola Kommandos!" — sets the frantic tone perfectly, and Anthony Williams's pencils and inks deliver every moment of mayhem with crackling energy. With Garth Ennis writing and Coleby on interior art, Prog 785 looks like a thoroughly entertaining slice of 2000 AD's signature blend of action and dark humour.
