2000 AD and Tornado #139

This November 1979 issue of 2000 AD and Tornado arrives with a gripping Carlos Ezquerra cover depicting a menacing alien figure in a bulky orange pressure suit, red-eyed and reaching forward aggressively as it bears down through what appears to be an icy, treacherous environment — with the bold tagline "The Alien Who Came In from the Cold!" setting an ominous tone. The "DANGER!" warnings flanking the scene and the eerie planetary bodies in the background give the whole image a real sense of cold-void dread. Inside, John Howard and John Cooper bring readers "The Great Plasteen Disaster!", with lettering by Tom Frame rounding out a solid creative lineup for this Eagle Award-winning weekly.
