Time to start work on a covers gallery for Marvel UK's 'Beavis and Butt-head' comic I think - plenty of gaps, so if you can help that'd be great

John Bolton always struck me as an artist who didn't get his due. He's an incredible artist who for some reason was never hailed as one of the best. I will always remember seeing his work in the backup stories in 'Classic X-men' and being simply blown away.

100% agree.

I met him at a signing in Forbidden Planet Dublin back in the 90's (I think he was promoting the lusciously painted Manbat at the time) - received a free sketch.

As amazing as he is, he never seemed the most prolific artist - could be one of the reasons for reduced name recognition.

I must seek out some of his sketch / art books.

agree, agree - I can only assume it's his pace which stops him having greater fame
