Judge Dredd by John Higgins

Thanks to Jonathan for this.

Judge Dredd by John Higgins

John Higgins is an English artist, writer 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.

Johnny Alpha by Carlos Ezquerra

Carlos Ezquerra is Spanish comics artist who works mainly in British comics and is responsible for some of the most important characters in the history of 2000ad. Not only is he the co-creator of both Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog, he has also provided work for Just a Pilgrim, Preacher and The Boys. Carlos is currently recovering from having a cancerous  lung removed and chemotherapy, but this has by no means  stopped him working. 


Thanks to Dave "Bolt-01" Evans for sending me the sketch which he got at the 2003 Dreddcon.
