Artist of the Week Brian Bolland

Artist of the Week #3: Brian Bolland This week we feature the legendary Brian Bolland. For many, he is best known for being the artist on Batman: The Killing Joke – a story that is seen as being one of the best Batman stories of all time. For others he is best known for his work on with Judge Dredd in the British anthology 2000AD. Bolland’s interior work is few and far between, but he has had an illustrious career as a cover artist – mostly at DC Comics/Vertigo. Overall, he has amassed a large collection of work throughout the past 30 years, which has elevated him into one of the most respected artists today. As you will see in the gallery below Brian Bolland uses a mixture of heavy inks and extremely fine detail in a way that complements each other harmoniously. His characters are interesting to look at, with finer details added to them in a way that avoids them from being stock standard. Below is a gallery of his work from various points in his career. Enjoy!
