Henry Flint, winner of the National Comics Awards for Best Comic Artist 2004, is one of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic's rising superstars.

He has also worked on several American comics, including Omega Men, Haunted Tank and Fear Itself: Fearsome Four. Away from the comics industry, Henry produced art of the cover of DJ Food's 2012 album, The Search Engine.

Jason Brashill

Jason Brashill is a real fan-favourite artist, whose mix of pencils and paints have enlivened both his co-created series Outlaw and The Space Girls and his other work for 2000 AD, which includes Harlem Heroes, Judge Dredd, and Batman/Judge Dredd. He has also contributed to the television series Spaced, where his artwork stands in for that "created" by the show's lead male character.

During his 2000 AD career, he has illustrated Big Dave, Future Shocks, Judge Anderson, Judge Dredd, Mean Arena, Mean Machine, Robo-Hunter, Sinister Dexter, Slaine, Tharg the Mighty and most recently, The V.C.s.

Under the pen name D'Israeli, Matt Brooker has been a comic artist since 1988. He is perhaps best known for his collaborations with writer Ian Edginton, including Leviathan, Kingdom of the Wicked, The War of the Worlds, Scarlet Traces, Leviathan and Batman.

Ian Gibson

One of 2000 AD's best-loved and most honoured artists, Ian Gibson is responsible for the co-creation of The Ballad of Halo Jones (with Alan Moore), and created Bella Bagley, an unfortunate character in Judge Dredd's world who fell head-over-heels in love with 'Old Stoney Face' himself! His work outside the Galaxy's Greatest Comic includes Chronicles of Genghis Grimtoad, Star Wars: Boba Fett, X-Men Unlimited, plus the designs for the TV series Reboot.

Boo Cook

Boo Cook's 2000 AD debut came some years before he was to provide pencils for the comic proper - as a young man, he sent a fan sketch in to the letters page! Thankfully he continued to hone his art, working on a number of Future Shocks before landing a guest spot on the fan-favourite A.B.C. Warriors series. Cook's facility with huge crowd scenes and alien designs has quickly established him as a talent to watch, and with three co-created series - Asylum, Dead Men Walking, Harry Kipling (Deceased) - under his belt, he is one of the Galaxy's Greatest's brightest hopes for the future.

Simon Coleby

After starting his career as an inker at Marvel UK, Simon Coleby made his debut at 2000 AD in 1989, working on Future Shocks, Universal Soldier & Rogue Trooper. A favourite amongst 2000 AD fans, he has gone on to illustrate Judge Dredd, Low Life and Jaegir.
