Bisley is one of the most important artists in the history of the comic,Black Hole and Horned God tower above all in their era (even Colin's early, brilliant, work is in their shadow), and he set a perhaps unfortunate but ultimately crucial target for many who came after - including Colin.
Colin debuted about a year before Bisley, with the very funny (to me) Ulysses Sweet, and has never stopped. I've spent ages in these various poll threads singing Colin's praises, his parade of ever-evolving disparate styles, his complete understanding of storytelling, his peerless bullet wounds, his crazy jagged shadows, the purely ludicrous number of pivotal stories he's been tasked with drawing (and whether their hallowed place in the canon owes just as much to how he drew them as the stories themselves)... I could and have gone on. It's a measure of just how good Bisley is that he's managed to claw back even a single point against this force of nature.
Colin 4 to Bisley 1.
