Ads from 1978 for 2000AD prog 75 and 76, featuring the first two parts of the Cursed Earth game. Another chance for the publisher to use Mick McMahon's famous artwork from the cover of prog 61 (still probably that title's best cover in my opinion). Rebellion.

'Big Willi' cover by Ian Kennedy.
The Tiger ll not only had many different names (Royal Tiger, King Tiger among others), it also had two different turrets. The Tiger ll depicted here has what is commonly known as a 'Henschel' or 'Production' turret. A smaller number had the 'Porsche' or 'Pre-Production' turret.
Confusingly the turrets were actually designed by a company named Krupp. The Henschel and Porsche designation arose from those companies submitting competing designs for the hull (but not the turret). The Porsche design was rejected while the Henschel version was approved.
Krupp had in the meantime made a prototype turret which some erroneously thought was designed by Porsche. Krupp then changed their design at the request of the German military and the new one was used on the bulk of the Tiger ll's. As Henschel had won the contract for the hull this second turret became known as the Henschel turret. That is a massive oversimplification but it's a long story and a great one to amaze your friends with!
Around 490 Tiger ll's were built, about 50 of which had Krupp's prototype turret.
