@pauljholden I would, if not kill to have an Artists Edition of 'Button Man' by Arthur Ranson, is certain he willing to maim. Or at least l glare menacingly...
Thank you to everyone who came to the Best of 2000 AD launch signing at @GoshComics on Saturday and especially to the legendary Arthur Ranson, @hellomuller and @thsheridans for signing – troopers all! https://t.co/2U9grEaEvU
It's not sci-fi or fantasy but this is one of the best 2000AD stories. John Wagner is one of the greatest comics writers there ever was, and Arthur Ranson is a flat-out genius. The story is pretty standard "Hitman tries to get out" stuff, but the execution (ahem) is sublime.
@PulpLibrarian Arthur Ranson is easily one of the best comic artists the UK has ever produced. It's not just that his work looks like the real world, but his fine detailed graceful lines transcend any "photo-realistic" claims.
Finished Button Man, and overcome with the same bafflement I had when I read Mazeworld. How is it that Arthur Ranson is a comics artist who is a blind spot to comics twitter??? A genius, all time great storyteller as far as I’m concerned.
