Jim Baikie

Jim Baikie is co-creator of one of the more lovable aliens to ever feature in the Galaxy's Greatest Comic — Interpreter Zhcchz from Tau Ceti, a.k.a. Skizz. In addition to co-creating the character (and then working on two subsequent series as sole writer), Baikie has illustrated Cursitor Doom, Future Shocks and Judge Dredd. He also co-created the hard-hitting political superhero series, New Statesmen, in Crisis magazine, and contributed to Warrior magazine's Laser Eraser and Pressbutton.

Simon Bisley

Simon Bisley occupies an almost unique place in 2000 AD history, as one of the first UK artists to popularise the fully-painted style pioneered by Argentinian artist Alberto Brecchia. 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 — very popular, as they remain to date. He also illustrated Heavy Metal Dredd in the Megazine, 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.

Brian Bolland

Perhaps the most popular 2000 AD artist of all time, Brian Bolland's clean-line style and meticulous attention to detail ensure that his artwork on strips including Dan Dare, Future Shocks, Judge Dredd and Walter the Wobot looks as fresh today as it did when first published. Co-creator of both Judge Anderson and The Kleggs, Bolland's highly detailed style unfortunately precluded him from doing many sequential strips — although he found the time to pencil both Camelot 3000 and Batman: The Killing Joke for DC Comics.

Instead, Bolland moved to working almost exclusively on covers, and his designs and art have illustrated some of the finest comics of modern times, including Animal Man, The Invisibles, and of course 2000 AD!

Eric Bradbury

Eric Bradbury is one of 2000 AD's early, unsung heroes, contributing to a host of strips and across a wide variety of styles — as one would expect from a man with credits on Future Shocks, Terror Tales and Time Twisters! He has also pencilled Invasion!, Judge Dredd, Mean Arena, Rogue Trooper and Tharg the Mighty. Bradbury later went on to the relaunched Eagle comic, where he pencilled a revival of the popular character Doomlord with 2000 AD's Alan Grant.

Jason Brashill

Jason Brashill is a real fan-favourite artist, whose mix of pencils and paints have enlivened both his co-created series Outlaw and The Space Girls and his other work for 2000 AD, which includes Harlem Heroes, Judge Dredd, and Batman/Judge Dredd. He has also contributed to the television series Spaced, where his artwork stands in for that 'created' by the show's lead male character.

John Burns

John Burns' glorious painted art has graced several 2000 AD series, notably in lengthy runs on Judge Dredd and Nikolai Dante, as well in as his own co-creation, The Bendatti Vendetta. He has also contributed to Black Light, Doctor Sin, The Scarlet Apocrypha, Vector 13 and Witchworld. Outside the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, he has pencilled Eclipse's ESPers and the James Bond miniseries, A Silent Armageddon.
