Dredd action artist - big poll

Question is who do you think draws the best scenes of Dredd in action?

I have tried to cover as many artist as possible (no doubt someone will say "what about...")

This is actually harder than i thought it would be.

This is impossible. May have to think it over for a while.

Jock's great at a gunfight - but he ain't in there

Without even thinking about it and before looking at the list, Barry Kitson popped into my head - I seem to instinctively remember Stan Lee (especially the second one) and his episodes of Oz and the race. Then I went for Ron Smith. After looking at the list Cam Kennedy caught my eye, so he's my third.

Ezquerra deserves to be in there, but he's too obvious a choice.

McMahon gets first vote from me - his early stuff mind, not the latest ummmm... efforts.

Then Colin Wilson and John Burns

These aren't necessarily my favourite artists, but definitely the ones who can do the action scenes best for my taste

And is Gary Leach so good you had to list him twice?

Robin if there is an obvious choice then go for it. If your gut instinct has his name then he is the one.
This is how I am going to approach it. I will leave it for a few days, look at the list then pick the first three names that scream at me.

The odd thing was that Ezquerra didn't occur to me until after I voted. Similarly, Cliff Robinson and Colin MacNeil. However, Barry Kitson and Ron Smith always immediately spring to mind whenever we have these threads.

No Henry Flint? No Kev Walker? Come on man!

I totally agree with you on Ezquerra Robin. He is more for story telling than action compared to some of the other artists.

This. Can you add artists to the poll as you created it Emp?

Cam Kennedy IS the man for action, dynamism is his middle name.

Zarjazzer · 13 March, 2011, 11:08:36 AM

Ye gods of comic drawing that was almost impossible. Whittled it down to Cam Kennedy,Colin Wilson and Colin Mcneil. It was almost painful.

PJM · 13 March, 2011, 12:22:09 PM

I'm a fan of most of the names on the list but Cam Kennedy is for me head and shoulders above them all.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I do rate him as an action artist, as well as for scenery and storytelling, but, I dunno, he's almost too big a presence to immediately notice, if that makes any sort of sense.

It's funny, there was a time that I would have rated Brian Bolland as the bestest artist in the world ever, but now he's pretty much an irrelevance as far as comic strips are concerned. Great artist, fantastic covers, but not a comic artist, and his work on Dredd is so far in the past that its significance is almost limited to his design of the Dark Judges.

Controversial?
