Simon Bisley occupies an almost unique place in 2000 AD history, as one of the first UK artists to popularise the fully-painted style. His highly dynamic artwork made his two major series in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic — "A.B.C. Warriors: The Black Hole" and "Sláine: The Horned God" — hugely popular. He also illustrated "Heavy Metal Dredd", an ultra-graphic, adults-only take on the lawman, before going on to pencil the hugely successful first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover story, "Judgement on Gotham". Bisley has provided countless pin-ups and short pieces across an astonishing variety of comics, from legendary fantasy anthology Heavy Metal to anarchic DC superhero series "Lobo", and has an even more extensive CV in Europe, where his painted style enjoys enormous success.
