Latest Guest Announcement - David Roach

 

Attending: Saturday and Sunday

 

Artist: 2000 AD; Batman/Demon
Author: The Art of Vampirella: The Dynamite Years; The Art of Jose Gonzales
WELL known for his encyclopaedic knowledge of comics history and for his remarkable ability to identify the work of other comics artists, David Roach began his professional career drawing for 2000 AD.
He worked on various strips for the self-styled Galaxy’s Greatest Comic between 1988 and 1992, when he made his US debut illustrating a 13-pager for issue #3 of Marvel’s creator-owned Epic anthology. Over the next three years he pencilled stories for both DC and Dark Horse contributing to such titles as Dark Horse Comics, Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi – Knights of the Old Republic, Darkstars and Lobo before drawing 1996’s Batman/Demon one-shot.
Much in demand as an inker especially on Doctor Who Magazine, Roach’s next major project was Star Trek: Voyager – Avalon Rising, a 2000 one-shot for DC’s WildStorm imprint following which he renewed his association with 2000 AD.
He remains an infrequent contributor to the UK SF weekly while now primarily working outside of comics; among other things he provides illustrations for role-playing game manuals and storyboards for films. The co-author of 2014's The Art of Vampirella: The Dynamite Years for Dynamite (for which he also provides the occasional cover), Roach also contributes sporadically to 2000 AD's companion title, Judge Dredd Megazine.
Publication of his latest book, Dynamite's The Art of Jose Gonzalez, coincides with his appearance at Film and Comic Con Cardiff Winter 2015.
