2000 AD #962

Prog 962 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology arrives with a jaw-dropping Nick Percival cover dominated by a wild-haired, axe-wielding warrior — unmistakably Slaine — bursting through a ring of enormous jagged teeth, with a skull lurking ominously in the lower left. The tagline "Hell's Teeth! Oral Hygiene — Slaine Style" sets a perfectly sardonic tone for this 1995 issue, which also features "The Cal Files, Part 4" with interiors by the multi-talented John Burns and words by John Wagner. It's a fine Saturday package from Fleetway that showcases just how much raw, imaginative energy 2000 AD consistently packed into a single prog.
