The Programme #3

In "Pravda," Peter Milligan and C. P. Smith deliver a sharp, tense tale of ideological clash, as the Soviet superhuman Spirit of Lenin rallies a cadre of enigmatic "Russian Dolls" for an escalating war, while the U.S. government scrambles to counter the threat—only to awaken a forgotten, aging former musician, far from the hero he once was. With C. P. Smith's striking visuals and Jonny Rench's evocative coloring, this 2007 issue captures a chilling Cold War fever dream, all under the stark, deliberate cover by Smith.
