This is 2000AD prog. 1070, cover-dated 25 November 1997 (so, technically, a year-or-so outside the usual scope of STARLOGGED). The cover relates to a Vector 13 short, by Abnett (him again) and Brand, set in Dallas that fateful day.
Vector 13 was the successor to the twist-in-the-tale shorts (Tharg's Future Shocks and Time Twisters) that had long been a page-filling mainstay of the venerable weekly. This being the era of THE X-FILES, V13 had a men in black/ conspiracy vibe running throughout and - for a while - the strip's host replaced the Mighty One himself as the weekly's figurehead editor.
As far as I know, none of the V13 run has ever been collected and reprinted which is a shame... as I'd certainly snap up a volume if they did.
