2000AD COVER OF THE YEAR VOTE 2014!

[Pete Wells]

I'll throw my hat in:

1 - 1889 Sensitive Klegg by Chris Weston. This is sheer brilliance - amazingly rendered, beautiful composition, gorgeous architecture and damn funny to boot.

2 - 1900 Dredd by Greg Staples. Gloriously skilled painting by the master. When I saw this my excitement for Dark Justice went up even further.

3 - 1909 Dredd's eagle by Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague. I love Cliff's studies of the minutia of the Justice Dept fatigues or tech and this eagle was superb! The cityscape in the background was the icing on the cake, especially as it was 'cobbled together' using a screwdriver set, coffee pot, stapler and a pyrex dish shows the genius of the man. Mr Teague, as ever, did a brilliant job of the colouring, so I am a happy squaxx.

As others have said, this was a terrifically difficult exercise which changed hourly!

1.  1900 Dredd. Greg staples.

2.  1889 Sensitive Klegg. Chris Weston.

3.  1882 Slaine. Simon Davis.

No easy task, and would need a top 12 to simplify things. My top 3 has changed about 8 times in as many minutes, but here goes.

1. 1900  Greg Staples  Was always my favourite, just glorious. Dredd in the flesh.

2. 1892  Colin MacNeil  As cute as you like, and highly grin-inducing. Lovely, in a sea of "darkish" covers.

3. 1880  Simon Davis  Atmospheric, and beautiful. Wonderful illustration of the story.

HMs for the Roberts, Flint, Ronald, Robinson droids and I haven't even mentioned the astonishing D'Israeli. Top 3 ?!

[Buttonman]

Big props to Pete for arranging this again and for producing such a cracking blog week in week out.

I could double up here but I'm for one vote per artist so I'll go for :

1st) 1909 - Cliff Robinson - iconic as always
2nd) 1900 - Greg Staples - as above
3rd) 1889 - Chris Weston - A cracker and a 'must read' invite.
