Our auction gets better and better, and that’s a good thing as it means more money raised for the Kings Heath Food Bank. These oversized hardback books go for over £100. You get the chance to bid on one, or both, this coming Saturday 19th September at the Kings Heath Comic Con. Here’s more about both these sumptous editions:
The 2000 AD Art Of Mick McMahon
“The 2000 AD Art of Mick McMahon: Apex Edition is a gloriously oversized collection of some of McMahon’s best pages from 2000 AD. His legendary work on Slaine is showcased with art from ‘Warriors Dawn, ‘Heroes Blood’, and the incredible ‘Sky Chariots’. Also represented here are his Ro-Busters and A.B.C. Warriors eras, the climactic pages from ‘Judge Dredd: The Return of Rico’, the entirety of Superbean, and the complete opening episode of The V.C.’s, along with his V.C. character designs which were used by Cam Kennedy and Garry Leach for artistic continuity. The concluding section of this book exhibits colour pages from his Judge Dredd Annual stories, including the complete ‘The Fear that Made Milwaukee Famous’, and select pages from throughout The Last American.”
The 2000 AD Art Of Steve Dillon
“One of the most admired artists in comics history, Steve Dillon is rightfully considered to be one of the definitive 2000 AD artists, with his extensive work for The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic including pencils on A.B.C. Warriors, Bad Company, Judge Dredd, Harlem Heroes, Ro-Busters, Rogue Trooper and Tyranny Rex.
As an artist who set the standard for what comics could be, we are delighted to announce that 2000 AD are publishing a collection of his stunning original artwork for the next volume of our Apex Editions.
The 2000 AD Art of Steve Dillon: Apex Edition contains pages from throughout his 30+ year career working at 2000 AD, including his art on Rogue Trooper and Harlem Heroes. His prolific and defining work on Judge Dredd is showcased with a range of stories including his incredible artwork for the classic Block Mania alongside the Emerald Isle storyline, one of his first collaborations with Garth Ennis.
Also included in this book is the complete art for Alan Moore’s sole A.B.C. Warriors story, Red Planet Blues, with painted colour by Watchmen artist John Higgins.”
