2000 AD #996

Prog 996 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology delivers a cover that captures pure vehicular mayhem — a massive tank barrels through tropical undergrowth, its cannon blazing a fireball while a wild-eyed figure rides triumphantly atop it, scattering armored soldiers in every direction. Henry Flint's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, teasing the "Crush Hour!" Middenface McNulty story inside alongside strips including Dredd, Slaine, Finn, and Vector 13. With Carlos Ezquerra handling full art duties on the Dredd lead strip and John Wagner scripting, this 1996 prog is a satisfying package of the anthology's finest ongoing talent.
