2000 AD #799

A towering skeletal figure raises a massive axe overhead, its hollow-faced cowl and bony hands dominating the blood-red sky above a desperate, battered blonde figure and a dark-haired companion — it's a striking image of mortal peril rendered with real intensity. The cover tagline "Final Judgement — So Long to Sabbat?" sets the stakes high as this September 1992 prog reaches Part 20 of the sprawling "Judgement Day" storyline. Carlos Ezquerra's cover art — pencils, inks, and colors all his own — delivers the kind of grim, visceral energy that made 2000 AD essential weekly reading.
