2000 AD #887

That unsettling grin isn't one you'll soon forget — the cover of 2000 AD Prog 887 (1994) confronts you with a skull-faced clown mask, its hollow eyes and red nose looming large against a stormy blue sky, flanked by alien, claw-like appendages that hint at something deeply wrong beneath the makeup. Cover art by Robert Bliss makes the most of that queasy "Who's Laughing Now?" tagline, promising alien skullduggery in the prog's feature story "The Clown." Inside, Clint Langley brings his distinctive artwork to "The Enemy Below, Part 2," with lettering by Tom Frame rounding out a reliably compelling installment of Britain's favourite weekly anthology.
