Art I love! • • • The first episode of 2000ad's 'The VCs' was drawn by Mick McMahon. The editor wanted to hire him to design the look of the series, but without a development budget they instead got him to draw the opening episode. Problem solved! This art first appeared in 2000ad Prog 140 back in November 1979. • • • #originalart #2000ad #mickmcmahon #mikemcmahon #theVCs #scifi #sciencefiction #comicsart #comics #comicbookart #britishcomics #Illustration #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B2tcBd3hp34WvZaElocz-jLgJgzE3OHdTA0-R00/?igshid=3phvo647qcf1

These are a few of my favourite things.... Original art painted by my friend Steve Dillon for the Judge Dredd Tradimg cards in the 1990s. This art is only about 4 inches high. #originalart #stevedillon #mikemcmahon #judgedredd #slaine #abcwarriors #2000ad #watchmen #comics #comicbooks #artoninstagram #art

Just finished The Last American by Alan Grant, Mike McMahon and John Wagner. A more contemplative and honest look at post nuclear war, I don't think you'll find in comics or any other media. And Mike McMahon's art is amazing. #thelastamerican #alangrant #johnwagner #mikemcmahon #comics #graphicnovels https://www.instagram.com/p/B79vQ42BC1V/?igshid=ck3mlzfutody

Mick McMahon's first ever Judge Dredd from 2000ad Prog 6. 'Frankenstein 2' is the first strip he drew, the first dozen or so stories were not published in order of creation. Notice it says JUDGE on his badge, not Dredd. This is from the original art. It is photographed on a lightboard.so you can see the alterations done by editorial staff. This strip was heavily censored, as it was drawn before ACTION comic was banned in late 1976... so 2000ad had to alter it's violent content. You can see the two bad guys hidden under the giant speech balloon on page one, one of them holding up a gun in the pose Mick would make iconic for Judge Dredd...here on his very strip! #2000ad #judgedredd #mickmcmahon #mikemcmahon #scifi #comics #comicbook #originalart
