2000 AD #973

That cover says it all — a massive prehistoric marine reptile lunges out of churning surf, jaws agape and lined with savage teeth, as a terrified man in a wetsuit desperately clutches a scuba tank while being dragged into its maw. 2000 AD #973 heralds the return of Flesh! as a "New Thrill" set 80 million years in the past, and Steve White's cover art makes a genuinely visceral case for prehistoric terror. Inside, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra continue their Judge Dredd epic "The Pit," making this a packed 1996 prog with something to offer fans of both prehistoric carnage and Mega-City law.
