From July winner Andy Lambert (and also suggested quite some time ago by Sheridan):

QuoteI don't know if the forum has paid tribute to this comics legend, but if not, I think it's time it did. Early Dan Dare, ACE Trucking Co., early Slaine, Blackhawk, Harlem Heroes, Meltdown Man... so many classics.

Indeed rarely a month goes by when the Italian 80s prog stalwart is not mentioned - his wildly imaginative design work and his distinctive visual style make him one of 2000 AD's most iconic artists. He sadly died a decade ago but his legend lives on! So do have a go at one or more of his distinctive characters, pay tribute to his best moments, try to mimic his idiosyncratic approach...

As always BARNEY is your friend!

There will be a GN straight from the nerve centre for the winner of course, and one for Tharg's Choice -  - all entries will be viewable here, on our dedicated FB page, and also on the official 2000 AD Tumblr and Twitter!

Rules for the art comp are these:

- It must fit the theme.

- You can enter as many times as you like but bear in mind it will split your vote so it may not be worth it.

- All entries have to be constructed specifically for this competition - so nothing you've done for anything else.

- You can enter either here or by directly putting it on our FB wall here: https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp/

YOU HAVE UNTIL AUGUST THE 27th WHEN WE SHALL ACE THE VOTING GARP

So pleased to see this - Massimo was one of the stalwarts when I started reading in 1983.  It's great seeing some of the later works his family posts to Facebook.

Possibly my fave ever artist

Really looking forward to the submissions

That's some nice inking on what looks like a post it note!

Albion

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Albion, you need to get that onto the most outlandish bottle you can find- post haste!

I really need to print out a few copies of that and bung it on some bottles :)
