Judge Dredd by John Higgins


Thanks to Jonathan for this.

Judge Dredd by John Higgins


John Higgins is an English artistwriter and colourist, who is probably best known for his colouring work on Watchman and Killing Joke. His first work for 2000ad was providing a cover to prog. 43 and soon after he started getting regular work in 2000ad. He has continued to provide work for 2000ad, Judge Dredd in particular. Letter From a Democrat, Johns second Dredd story, for 2000ad is still possibly the most important one parter in Dredds history. Most recently John has created, written and illustrated Razorjack, which was originally supposed to be part of  Higgins' self-published anthology comic Razorjack, but ended up being published by Com.x as a two-issue comic.

Luther Arkwright by Bryan Talbot



Bryan Talbot is considered to be the "godfather" of modern British underground comics and is probably best known for The Adventures of Luther Arkwright which was one of the first British graphic novels. He started working for 2000AD in 1983, for which he produced three books of the Nemesis the Warlock with Pat Mills. He will be soon be returning to the pages of  2000ad with a new Dredd story digitally inked and painted by his son, Alwyn Talbot and written by Michael Carroll.
Eric Moore provided this sketch of Luther Arkwright his favourite character of Bryan's work.
