He's also really simplified his work these days so it looks like he just doesn't bother anymore. Also laffo at Payndz posted:MacNeil and Kev Walker were easily the best of 2000AD's "fully painted" artists, but I'm guessing that the sheer amount of time and work needed to do each page is the reason they both changed their style back to coloured lineart. (Phone posting, or I'd stick up some of Walker's ABC Warriors paintwork.) Kev Walker's stuff was decent, but it doesn't hold a candle to Bisley before he thought he was a rockstar and stop trying before Slaine: The Horned God was even done, or Glenn Fabry before he got stolen away to do Preacher covers. See also the aforementioned Sean Phillips, + Duncan Fegredo/Simon Harrison/Will Simpson's painted art. I will agree with the flood of Bisley clowns that followed in though - Greg Staples, Dermot Power..there were about 3 other's that took over and were main artists through the 90's that just looked like piss poor photocopies of former glories. I'll post some examples up once I get my HD out of storage tomorrow.

I'm not disputing it was bad, I'm just saying I'd have thought it would be more remembered than it is. I'm pretty sure it was a fairly big deal for them to get Johns at the time.

I just remembered where I put my scanner so I think the next batch of comics I share I'll do proper scans of them for some more detail at least for the covers since scanning single pages is a pain without chancing damaging the book.

Rhyno posted:He was Richard Donner's protege. There was a small war fought over him. I knew the first part but not the second. What's the story there? Re: Johns's Avengers. Now that I think about it, his highest profile work when he took on Avengers must have been Flash, JSA and Teen Titans. He wouldn't have done Infinite Crisis, 52, Superman or (most significantly) Green Lantern yet. So, a big name, but not DC's franchise player.

Wheat Loaf posted:I knew the first part but not the second. What's the story there? Yep he was killing it on JSA and Flash, and then he started writing Avengers. The highlight was the Red Zone story with Dell Rusk, and he seemed that he was building up to a zodiac story. However, he left as DC signed him to an exclusive and allowed him free reign.

There's a been few different editions, the one you have is the oldest I think. There's also a DC edition published around 2004, from when they had a deal with Rebellion to reprint 2000AD stuff, which basically looks like total poo poo because the print quality on all those books was horrible. The more recent, improved version has this cover:

Some of the earlier pages are a bit rough, but posting Derelict in this thread as examples of bad art is just hilariously wrong.
