2000 AD and Starlord #126

This August 1979 prog of 2000 AD and Starlord puts the spotlight on "Disaster 1990!" — a story of a killer flood engulfing Britain, as the cover's bold cover text dramatically declares. Alan Willow's cover art delivers a gripping scene: a rugged, shotgun-wielding figure named Savage dominates the foreground alongside a bespectacled companion, while behind them a motorboat blazes through churning floodwaters with a submerged Big Ben visible in the chaos and panicked survivors struggling nearby. At 12p, Prog 126 is a vivid snapshot of the thrilling, disaster-tinged storytelling that made 2000 AD such essential reading in 1979.
