2000 AD #903

This September 1994 prog of 2000 AD wraps up concluding episodes across all its strips, with the spotlight falling on "Soldier Blue: War & Peace in Rogue Trooper," Part 3 of a three-prog mini-series. Chris Weston's cover art is striking — a battle-worn, blue-skinned figure dominates the foreground, golden eyes glowing and sword raised, while behind him lurk a scarred soldier in a red beret and a young man with a white dove perched on his shoulder, all set against a fragmented American flag. It's a compelling visual collision of conflict and fragile hope that makes this prog a satisfying close to the arc.
