2000 AD #949

A heavily armored figure — Rogue Trooper — tumbles through a roaring fireball, his blue-skinned body and battle-worn gear pelted by shrapnel, as the cover boldly asks: "Is this the death of Rogue Trooper?" Cover art by Steve Tappin captures that moment of explosive peril with real visceral energy, while the headline promises Judge Dredd action inside under the story title "Blowout." This July 1995 prog is a fine example of 2000 AD delivering dramatic tension right on the newsstand.
