His name was David, he drew comicsl
With Bat by Design and Marvel Zorro he drew with flare
He would merengue and do the cha-cha
In American comics he a star
Henry always drew above par
Across the crowded board, he worked on Haunted Tank issue four
He was young when he did Omega Men and other
They both did so much more?

Anything else just ask and I'll make something up.
Henry Flint
I'm loving Dave Taylor's art on Megatropolis, but really it's got to be Henry Flint.
Flint is probably preeminent amongst current art bots and is up there in the elite group. For me he's the modern equivalent of Mike McMahon. But he is also the modern equivalent of Kevin O'Neill.
Have to go with Henry Flint here I think but it's another tough choice.
Flint is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. But there's Anderson Big Robots. So for me it's Dave Taylor.
Dave Taylor consistently takes my breath away, but Henry Flint consistently knocks the wind out of me. And active violence is that bit more 2000AD, so I'm giving my vote to Flint.
Thought about abstaining in hopes it'd prevent more song-play from that Colin, though ;)
Dave, I love ya and still thing you're criminally underused especially on weekly Dredd but Henry Flint is pure uncut thrill-power.
Btw - Morrison and Taylor's Great Executions (meg 325-27) is my vote for great neglected Dredd. Has it ever been collected?

It has not been collected so far. The case files are now only entering 2003 territory with no 36 coming up soon.
Flint for my money.
dave taylor is the closest2000ad ever got to moebius.
every single one of henry flint's pages gets pored over for hours. i love his uncompromising attitude.
but it's dave for me.
Henry Flint is a God.
Not the God. I don't think.
Dave Taylor.
Dave Taylor, for Megatropolis, which is something of a peak.
SBT
Henry Flint.
David Taylor
These are tough. Taylor's done plenty of really great work, but Flint has got better and better and often hits a kind of iconic state for me that few other artists can match.
Henry Flint. When I was first getting into Dredd his art grabbed me immediately and didn't let go.
Heinrich Flint
Has to be Henry Flint

Which as we all know is Swiss for David Taylor.
The Flint droid wins it for me, but it is definitely worth mentioning that Dave's Megatropolis is very awesome indeed.

This is what I would have written if I had the wit to do so.
Dave Taylor is phenomenal, but Flint's work is now iconic and definitive.
Henry Flint is my choice.
This one is closing tomorrow and while its not to close there's plenty of appreciation for both artists so far and of you want to do that just drop it in a vote today.
VOTING CLOSED
Well while the votes clearly always going one way there was a lot of love for Dave Taylor here and as someone said he's the closed we've had to Moebius - which is quite some acalade. However its little surprise that
Henry Flint
Has justified his place as one of the favs here and is through to the Quarter Finals.
Let us appreciate some Flint art, this is from Shakara:
