Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Nigel Dobbyn Appearing: both days Artist: 2000 AD; Sonic the Comic; Spider-Man and Friends MOST of Nigel Dobbyn’s time these days is occupied outside the comics industry working on design and illustration for a variety of companies. However in the close to 30 years since he embarked on a career in comics, he has worked on titles for Dark Horse, DC Thomson, Egmont among others. Starting out at Harrier Comics – a British publisher that occupied the mid-ground between fanzines and mainstream publishing – the artist was soon hired by Fleetway to work on 2000 AD. He was a regular contributor to the self-styled Galaxy’s Greatest Comic from 1988 until 1995, when he transferred across to Egmont’s Sonic the Comic. He remained on that licenced title into 1999 after which he moved across to another. Published by Dark Horse, Digimon – on which he worked during 2000 – was not Dobbyn’s first US outing; that occurred in 1994 when he drew an issue of The Demon for DC for which he also pencilled three issues of Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future the following year. Apart from Panini’s Spider-Man and Friends on which he worked from 2006 to 2011, the artist’s comics output has dwindled since Digimon. He has, however, contributed to Games Workshop’s Inferno as well as working on Power Rangers strips for Panini/Fox Kids’ Wickid magazine and on Billy the Cat for The Beano. -

Latest Guest Announcement - Greg Staples Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: 2000 AD A SEMI-REGULAR contributor to 2000 AD from the outset of his career in 1992, Greg Staples illustrated stories for the self-proclaimed Galaxy's Greatest Comic (and its companion title, Judge Dredd Megazine) for almost a decade. Very early on he took to producing covers for the weekly, continuing to do so frequently until 2005 by which time his talents were in demand by the movie industry and by Wizards of the Coast for which he produced numerous paintings for the Magic: The Gathering collectable card game. He'd also been headhunted by DC where his paintings appeared on covers to 2001 issues of Swamp Thing and Legends of the DC Universe and on the interiors of the same year's JLA: Riddle of the Beast graphic novel. For almost a decade from 2006, Staples – whose film industry credits include Solomon Kane and The Fades – continued to provide the very occasional cover to 2000 AD as well as such American comics as IDW's Mars Attacks Judge Dredd [2013] until, in 2014, he embarked on what is his most significant comics project in years: he reunited with writer John Wagner (the Lawman of the Future's co-creator) for a fully-painted 66-page Judge Dredd epic running to 11 chapters in 2000 AD.
