F-ZeroOne Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 This may not mean much in the US, but Carlos Ezquerra, one of the most well known artists to have worked for the UK SF anthology comic "2000AD", has died: http://www.denofgeek.com/uk/books-comics/60846/judge-dredd-co-creator-carlos-ezquerra-dies Ezquerra is probably most famous for his work on "Judge Dredd" (having helped co-create the character with John Wagner) but his highly distinctive, tyre-tread outline style was also seen in "Strontium Dog" and a great many other works in collaboration with other well known comic book creators. Theres a lot to choose from, but my pick for his definitive work would be "The Apocalypse War", which can be found in "Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Volume 5".
apptt4 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 ah godammit I was introduced to him via his many collaborations with Garth Ennis. always stoked to see him on interiors. rest in power Carlos, you won't be forgotten
Graham Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I grew up reading 2000AD from the age of 8 and now at nearly age 49 I'm still subscribing and reading it, along with the Judge Dredd Megazine. I love Ezquerra's work on Strontium Dog, Judge Dredd and the Stainless Steel Rat adaptations, as well as more recently Cursed Earth Coburn. The man was a huge talent and had a enormous impact on the British comics scene since the 70s. He will be sorely missed.
