2000 AD #958

Prog 958 of 2000 AD (22 September 1995) puts Celtic warrior Sláine front and centre in a brooding winter landscape, draped in a massive fur cloak and clutching an ornate, ram-headed axe while a grotesque creature lurks menacingly at his side — cover artist Clint Langley renders the whole scene with a gloriously savage, textured intensity. The "Cold Warrior!" headline and the promise that "Sláine Returns — This Prog" make this a particularly atmospheric entry in the long-running anthology. Inside, John Wagner writes and Carlos Ezquerra provides the full art treatment on "Bad Frendz, Part 4," a reliably sharp creative pairing for any fan of Judge Dredd's home weekly.
