2000AD Original Art Thread

Don't know how those artists can do it!

And here is the spiritual brother to that "Willsher Does Kirby" Dredd cover, which resides in my collection! This time with added mutants

That is a beautiful Kirby-tastic piece of art. I have serious envy

Love these 'faux' covers. Mr Ben comes up with the goods yet again.
And this kinda reminds me of that cover, by Henry Flint, for the FCBD issue of 2000ad. Think somebody mentioned that the art was destined for e-Bay, but i dont think they ever showed up there...

ok not Original art .... but the Original pages used .... ( there is some original background inking on the Nemesis pieces ... could have been Kev Oneill ??? ) so all stats really ...









and a little color Dillon stat , never seen one of these before ...

[maryanddavid]

Brilliant stuff Dale, you are tracking them down slowly but surely!

A couple of Moon Runners pages by the Maestro Massimo Belardinelli. These are both signed as well, which is nice!

Title page - I love the monster on here (not having read Moon Runners I am not sure what it is).


And the best page of the series - the final page

Very nice pieces, and very interesting to see these, Dale.
Stuff like this, you would imagine, wouldnt survive the years, or would be considered fairly disposable?
But a nice look behind the scenes. Brilliant stuff,

Yeah, very nice to see those, Dale - really something a bit special.

[Fatboydale]

A few stats and painted pages ....

[SuperSurfer]

Love looking at all that worthy but slightly off the beaten path artwork.

Dez Skinn writes about the design rationale of that era of covers here.

Great to see these Dale, thanks for sharing them. Especially like the Visible Man and Harry 20...

The Harry 20 and Rogue Trooper ones are just fantastic - I'm a huge fan of paste up covers.  I used to work for a newspaper years ago and so have a special place for sticking things down for print.

I love the stats , mainly because i cannot find the originals .... and they were printed ,my collecting ethos is not printed stay away ... 

Forgot about this cover .... which was printed ...
