Who Draws The Best Dredd? (and isn't called Brian or Carlos)

I DON'T KNOW!

Henry Flint with a condition. His Dredd when coloured by Chris Blythe is second only to the great Carlos himself. I'm not sure how it would fare without Blythe as I think - whisper it - his black and white art leaves something to be desired.

Shakara?

Nemesis The Warlock?

Some of my favourite black and white work!

I think I actually prefer Henry Flint's black and white stuff, (not that there's anything wrong with it once coloured). It has a very old-school 2000ad vibe to it.

You know the old saying "I don't know art but I know what I like"? Well thats me. Whereas I can analyse stories based on character, plot, pacing and dialogue etc. I can never really put into words why I like or dislike certain artwork. It either jumps off the page to me or it doesn't and I'm afraid Henry Fints uncoloured stuff just doesn't. As I say though, I'm not the worlds greatest art critic.

Another artist that hasn't got much of a mention I've been reminded of recently is Colin Wilson. Just read over at CBR that he's currently finishing some new Dredd work. Can't wait for that.

Don't know how anyone can call Henry Flints black and white art,this looks even better than the published colour page ! ...

I didnt quite get the wording of your post but that Henry Flint page is very similar to McMahon and it could easily have been in the prog in 1979.I wouldnt have bothered colouring it.I love old school B+w.

Boo Cook, Jason Brashill, Steve Dillon, Simon Bisley, Greg Staples, and Jock all do an awesome Dredd. 8-)

Quote from: "SteveMillar"Classic = Mike McMahon
Modern = Henry Flint

So basically McMahon, then?

Another vote for Ron Smith here, he just made it all so believable I guess.

In terms of colour Dredd now thats a different kettle of fish, not sure anyone has convinced me yet that they own the colour rights so far. On other strips yes but not Dredd.
