2000 AD #82

From the pages of Britain's wildest weekly sci-fi anthology comes Prog 82 of 2000 AD, dated 16 September 1978, with a Brian Bolland cover bursting with chaotic energy. A grinning cowboy-hatted figure commands center stage alongside a snarling, chained alien beast, while green-skinned creatures, armored humans, masked aliens, and a crowd of desperate, reaching hands swirl around them in gloriously frantic fashion — all beneath the banner of "Alien Roots." Inside, Bolland also handles the art on "Verdus, Part 7," written by Pat Mills, making this a fine showcase of one of 1978's most exciting creative partnerships.
