2000 AD #817

From the January 1993 pages of Britain's favourite weekly anthology comes Prog 817, promising "Widescreen Director's Cut Thrill-Power" and delivering it straight to the face. Nigel Dobbyn's cover is all gleeful chaos — a wild-eyed, furry alien creature bursts through an explosion of smoke and fire, clutching a hefty blaster while debris scatters around it, perfectly capturing the tagline "Furry Animals with Attitude in Strontium Dogs." Inside, Garth Ennis writes "The Craftsman" with John McCrea handling art, inks, and colours — a creative combination that promises the series' signature rough-and-tumble energy.
