All the Ds - Davis and Dobbyn! If The Thirteenth Floor had been a 2000AD strip, Ortiz would have nudged one of those guys out though.

Frazer Irving.
Nigel Dobbyn.

Alan Davies. For DR and Quinch.

Frazer Irving. Because the Simping Detective is the equal beat strip ever in the Meg.

Siku, for his uniquely painted style on many stories.

Alan Davis, for DR & Quinch and Harry Twenty.

Surely McCrea has had more of a run in 2000ad of late than his upsetting Tharg period?

So with that I'll go Ortiz and Irving.

Frazer Irving forever, he really grabbed my eyeballs by the throat when he first appeared.
And Siku, who is an acquired taste I think, but once you've acquired it there's no going back. He had a terrific run of Dredds in the period that has been reprinted in the Case Files recently - and that one Slaine story he did was lovely.

Alan Davis and Frazer Irving (my non-existent third vote goes to José Ortiz).

Tim Bollard got me confused; I thought this might have been a typo and it was some kind of play on Tim Bisley off Spaced

Nigel Dobbyn.
Alan Davis.

The second pick from this one is very difficult. First is obviously Siku. There's no one quite like him and his use of colour in particular sets him apart from every other artist.

Big fan of John McCrea but checking it he's done comparitively little for Tharg. So for style and amassing a solid body of work in a short timeframe it's got to be Frazer Irving.
