Mick McMahon Blog

If you know anything about British comics over the last thirty-odd years...okay, that's just eliminated just about everybody, but if you do, then you'll know the work of Mick McMahon. He's the Picasso of comic art. His early work on Judge Dredd and ABC Warriors, then Slaine, and later on Last American, plus his stunning work on, er, Sonic the Hedgehog - all of it is incredible, not least because unlike every other artist in the business, who spends formative years finding a style, and the rest of the career honing it, McMahon takes his artistic talent to pieces as soon as he finishes a piece of work, then he puts it back together again and creates a whole new style out of the same parts and uses that for a while before getting the sledgehammer out again. Naturally, this sort of experimental approach sends most fanboys running for the hills, but who cares? Now Mick has a blog, and I recommend anyone with an interest in the difference between an artist and a hack, check it out...
