2000 AD #987

Private investigator Demarco dominates this 1996 prog, rendered in striking painted detail by cover artist Mark Harrison — clad in a sleek black outfit and clutching a heavy chain bearing her own name badge, she fixes the reader with a gaze that's equal parts cool and charged. The cover teases "Demarco Unzipped!" alongside questions about a secret affair and Dredd's involvement, while also flagging a "Big Bang" for Canon Fodder and additional strips from Sinister Dexter, Rogue Trooper, and R.A.M. Raiders. It's a richly packed prog that puts one of the Judge Dredd universe's more compelling figures squarely in the spotlight.
