Cradlegrave - 3.5/5
One of the most effective one-off stories in 2000AD, with a really great atmosphere that really lets you feel that humid British summer time and hothouse horror of all the body horror grossness that slowly creeps into the Cradlegrave Estate. I do think Smith maybe overdoes the accents a little to where it feels like parody, but I also know folk who speak like this so what do I know, and the ending is a little rushed and a letdown. Still, it really is one of the best one-off stories in 2000AD and really sets the tone for the golden age the magazine kind of reentered in the 2000s and is still sort of in to this day.
