2000 AD #945

Prog 945 of 2000 AD arrives in June 1995 with a cover by Sean Phillips that's hard to look away from — a massive, glowering dragon looms out of flames and smoke, its rows of jagged teeth bared, while a lone horned figure stands defiant in the fiery foreground. The "Dragon Fire!" banner and the promise of "Nasty Long Pointy Teeth in FINN" set the tone perfectly, and the headline teasing the "Final Fate of the Grudge-Father" adds an extra layer of urgency. Inside, Garth Ennis and Nick Percival deliver Part 6 of "Goodnight Kiss," with lettering by Tom Frame rounding out a strong creative lineup for this mid-'90s British weekly.
