VOTING CLOSED

Oh so it wasn't that close! The curious thing here

D'Israeli

has gone through against two artists I'd adore and would have voted for and two of my absolute favourites and in some ways I'm kinda glad. Yes I love his work, but yes I mourn the exits of Henry Flint and Simon Fraser, but I love the fact the 2000ad fans - well those on the forum at least - seem to be hailing the different and atypical. This is so fitting for 2000ad. D'Israeli's idiosyncratic style feels like its championing greats like Simon Harrison, John Hickleton and even Kev O'Neill, not cos his art is like their's far from it in fact. The thing they have in common is the very fact their style is like no one else at all. So for that I absolutely salute you...

... for knocking out Simon Fraser as well as Henry Flint however I will be tracking you all down.

If there's one thing in art that's always made 2000 AD stand out against the big guns in the comics world, it's idiosyncrasy. It has a sense of style that's hard to pin down but that's different and can go against the grain. D'Israeli is never going to get massive runs on Superman, but his output is atmospheric and can pack an emotional heft. I've no idea how far he'll go in this, but I'll be hard pressed to vote against him in the final.

Simon Fraser for me  - D'israeli is an artist I can appreciate more than enjoy.

I'm too late to vote here, but it's the other way round for me.  I don't know what it is, but Simon Fraser has never really clicked with me, even though I can see he's an incredible artist.  Mind you, I didn't care for Dante much until the Tsar Wars thing kicked off.
