>Im the only one who rates Greg Staples?

there were a few ladies at Bristol who rated Greg very highly

"Im the only one who rates Greg Staples?"

I remember too much of his early stuff, which was often a poorly painted mess. On the other, he has done some rather tasty pieces as well - the recent Dread vs. Dark Judges commission is as good example as any. However, I don't think he's suited to six pages of panels on a regular basis.

[Robin Low]

Sorry, I was lazy. I did a Desert Island Discs of Dredd artists: eight in no particular order, with one singled out.

Carlos Ezquerra
Cliff Robinson
Cam Kennedy
Barry Kitson
Ian Gibson
Mike McMahon
Brian Bolland
Ron Smith - the definitive Dredd artist as far as I'm concerned.

If I was allowed to make it up to ten, I'd add Peter Doherty and Steve Dillon (before his line became too clean).

I think the above shows my age, but I could easily add others, older and newer, to the list

Regards

Robin

no more than 5 artists working on Dredd for the next 5 years

They're only robots without personal lives so what the heck.

1: Carlos Ezquerra, jus' for the ladies, heh?

2: Henry Flint coloured by Chris Blythe, let's just see how tiny Dredd's mouth can get.

3: Cam Kennedy also coloured by Chris Blythe, for all those stories that demand drunken tramps festooned with badges looking up from their bottles and going "Wuh?" as Dredd kneecaps another perp.

4:Chris Weston, just 'cos everyone looks like him gurning in the mirror.

5: Colin MacNeil doing fully painted exit wounds and close-up's of bawling kids.

('Course, the litmus of 21st Century Dredd artists is can they draw a gimp properly? Robinson, Flint and Weston can. Gibson, Millgate and Staples can't.)

"there were a few ladies at Bristol who rated Greg very highly"

Yeah, mighty was the breeze at Madam Jo Jo's from Cheryl fluttering her eyelashes at him

List 2 (Much easier):
-Steve Dillon
-Ron Smith
-Mike McMahon

-John Cooper (Ha! Didn't see that one coming did ya?)

List 3 (In which I list artists who know nothing of Dredd's world, but whose interpretations I would love to see.)
