2000 AD #814

Prog 814 of 2000 AD lands just before Christmas 1992 with a cover that grabs you by the throat — a scarred, bare-chested figure wearing a bold "S" belt buckle bursts through a shower of shattered glass or debris, arms outstretched and grinning with unsettling confidence, while the tagline "Here's ssSa'am! This one will SLAY you" sets a gleefully menacing tone. Anthony Williams's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, every shard of wreckage flying toward the reader as the figure dominates the frame. Inside, G. Ennis, J. Burns, and T. Frame deliver Part 5 of "Raider," making this a solid mid-arc entry in one of British comics' most reliably thrilling weekly anthologies.
