Worst Dredd Artists

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Actually, I'd nominate some of my own early Dredds. The artwork I produced for "Crazy Barry, Little Mo" still makes me cringe with embarrassment. My decision to take on the JD strip "SIX" was a deliberate attempt to make amends to Mr. Wagner... and to prove to myself I could do a decent Dredd.

I thought your depiction of a schizophrenic/socipathic Judge and his 'inner voice' was very good. Bit of a difficult subject matter to depict madness and insanity. Artists always rubbish their early works. I certainly do! It's how we progress.

Artist in being incredibly wrong shock.

I like that stuff.

Oddly enough, I re-read that last week! It's clearly not the greatest work you've ever done, but it certainly doesn't merit being anywhere near this thread. I particularly enjoyed Kurten's bowl-head haircut and the cheek-drilling scene (and subsequent dented perp face)

I admit, that when his work was being published I too wasn't sure if he was male or female, but I always quite liked his stuff.. ok, maybe it's a little derivative of Ron Smith in it's final polish, & maybe for that reason it could be seen as a little dated in a 'Hotspur' & 'Victor' kind of way, but it has good concise, clear storytelling & strong draftmanship.

I suppose it's - like anything - a matter of taste. I remember my 12 year old heart sinking when confronted with a Raymond Dredd because I wished it was McMahon, or Bolland, or Ezquerra or Smith or, well, anyone. Those big, horrible teeth and jaws and oddly-positioned limbs. Yuck.

Jon Haward's Dredd looks totally unconvincing, good with the Fatties but thats it.

The (unedited) comment is offensive and completely wrong. If you're going to make an attack like that, you should back it up with some sort of reasoning.

If you're capable of reasoning.

Agreed...he has the diplomacy of Elmer Angel

Haward's work on the slightly underwhelming Telguth strips was OK

Never liked John McCrea much, though.

Nor me.

Will Simpson has produced some shocking stuff and also some wonderful stuff, how's that for a balanced debate!

Jon Haward...

What the f*ck are you talking about?! His works fantastic!

Re-reading War Machine last night, and it's pretty good, but in some of the smaller panels it is IMPOSSIBLE to discern what the fuck is going on. Just a murky wash of grey/ blue blobs, with red lasers painted over it.

Yeah I'd agree with that. Overall I really like his work but it's quite uneven - there are usually a few really odd panels in his strips.

If it's of any consolation, I absolutely loved the art on that strip, then and now.
