All the British stuff I'd missed was there to be discovered. And there were the Europeans MoebiusManaraBreccia. Brian Bolland Cover to Cover of this stuff was to be found in the art schools. During my five years in three art schools I never learnt a single thing about comics from any of my tutors. Bolland studied graphic design at Norwich University of the Arts. After finishing his college course, Bolland was hit with "the stark reality of unemployment" [14] and on the advice of Gibbons [15] joined art agency Bardon Press Features. Thomson resulted, but Bolland would refer to this period as his "lowest time. Bolland writes that starting with he "found regular employment drawing comics, one of which, Judge Dreddin Brian Bolland Cover to Cover, turned out to be quite a hit In earlyBardon agent Barry Coker called Gibbons and Bolland to the office and showed them "mock-ups Brian Bolland Cover to Cover a new science fiction comic I. You'll be surprised to hear that Brian Bolland Cover to Cover though Judge Dredd had been in AD since Prog 2 the editors weren't sure which of the interior characters would sell the comic best if that character was on the cover. Artists like me just came up with cover ideas and, if they liked them, we'd draw the cover and they would write a one-page text story based on it to go inside. These early covers of mine fall into that category. Other covers following nearly a third of the first 30as well as stand-alone pages and some inking duties on Gibbons' . Already familiar with acting editorwhen Brian Bolland Cover to Cover artist dropped out, Bolland was called directly to complete a Judge Dredd story in Prog 41 3 Dec 77 and soon was established as a regular artist on the series. As the Dredd stories rose in popularity, they "were moved so they started on the middle pages" with a colour double-page spread, which Bolland "always struggled with" [21] finding it "very difficult Bolland's early work on Judge Dredd was much influenced by McMahon, a talented newcomer whose idiosyncratic style was fuelling the interest in the new character. Bolland thought McMahon was "terrific, the real ideas man on Dredd," but noted that McMahon's approach was "very impressionistic ," while the "average comics reader, certainly at the time, does tend to prefer realism. As well as honing the look of the character and contributing to the highest-profile early storylines, Bolland also created the look of two of the wider Dredd universe's most enduring characters: Judge Death and the other three Dark Judges and . Later, Landau's Titan "decided they could repackage the Judge Dredd stories in an American comic format with new covers and sell it to America," and did under the brand " Comics ". Bolland "drew the first Brian Bolland Cover to Cover episodes of the Judge Death story over the winter of —80," as "just another villain in just another excellent script. When Nick Landau began in Titan Books ' reprints of Judge Dredd material, he Brian Bolland Cover to Cover this story non-chronologically" to begin the series. Walter the Wobot was an android with a speech impediment who served as Judge Dredd's personal servant robot. Created for light relief, Bolland notes that "[t]he great thing about Brian Bolland Cover to Cover Judge Dredd strip was it's [sic] ability to slide seamlessly between gritty sci fi adventure, nasty gothic horrorspooferyall the way to daft comedy. In between Dredd assignments Bolland drew horror strips for 's House of Hammerhaving been introduced to the comic through another of the " in-crowd," Trevor Goringwho drew "a version of the movie Plague of the Zombies ," and asked Bolland to ink it. Robert Young; comic version scripted by Steve Parkhouseand "pile[d] on the gore" for his first Hammer horror adaptation — although he found much of the "blood painted out" in the printed version. From the s to the present, Bolland has also produced one-off pieces of artwork for use as record including one for The Drifters in [27]paperback book including the UK Titan editions of George R. Martin 's anthologies [28] and magazine covers including Time Out [11] and every major comics publication. He continued to produce work for , including for Nick Landau's Comic Media News[29] and Arkensword and even "drew the hazard cards" for a board game called Maneater. Bolland produced a considerable Brian Bolland Cover to Cover of advertising work, initially because his agent "Barry Coker kept putting advertising jobs my way," including a number of ads for " Palitoy 's toys. Bolland recalls that his big break came when attended the Summer Comicon, and, needing somewhere to work on Green Lantern while in the UK, arranged to stay with the Bollands. This Brian Bolland Cover to Cover the artist his "first stab at drawing Batman. rejected it and told me to do the one. Grudgingly I drew the number one cover that made it onto the issue — but as a Brian Bolland Cover to Cover I reversed the letter N in my signature as a code to remind myself that my "artistic integrity" had been despoiled. I liked the backwards N enough to keep it from that day on. Camelot had lengthy delays between its final issues. Bolland recalled that he and DC "talked quite a bit about how long it would take me to do the series," and because the series was inked by other artists, he started off "churning the pages out with great enthusiasm. Bolland drew a pinup for Superman No. Speaking circaBolland said that since The Killing Joke he has only drawn comics that he also wrote. Since then I haven't wanted to draw comics that anyone else has had a hand in. I'd rather not work on a story I haven't written myself or one that will ultimately be colored by someone else. I have to earn a living, though. Covers are a safe place for me. If someone else's colors swamp my work then, who cares. It was only one page. I can move on InBolland wrote and drew the story "An Innocent Guy" for the anthology Batman: Black and Whitein which an otherwise normal inhabitant of documents Brian Bolland Cover to Cover plan to carry out the ultimate perfect crime and assassinate the Dark Knight Detective. Although his forays into interior artwork are almost universally acclaimed, Bolland is now far more commonly seen as 'just' a cover artist [ according to whom? He also noted simply that he began to "concentrate on covers His iconic covers are in high demand, although his work predominantly appears on Brian Bolland Cover to Cover published by DC Comics. Bolland now Brian Bolland Cover to Cover on a computer, eschewing pencil and paper. He states that, while this leap means that he no longer produces any paper-based artwork a profitable sideline for many artists who sell on their original work to collectors"the pen and paper are gone for good. Bolland recalls that, in the wake of The Killing Jokehe "was offered a lot of work," Brian Bolland Cover to Cover didn't feel ready to make a long commitment. I ended up doing sixty-three. It became almost habitual, and it did mean that there would at least be something new of mine out there to look at. The first 63 issues of featuring Bolland's artwork covered the tenures of writers Grant MorrisonPeter MilliganTom Veitch and Jamie Delanowith Bolland's images maintaining a continuity of style and imagery while the interior work underwent several changes of style and storyline. It helps to try and imagine your cover is in a whole bank of thirty or more and you need it to stand out. Happy coincidence also plays its part, as when a time travel story arc saw Bolland's work coincide with the plot in such a way that he was able to produce a recreated cover from an alternate angle to shed new light on an initially inconsequential image. Bolland's covers adorn the whole second and third volumes of 's The Invisibles [66] and his depictions of the main characters are widely reprinted as the definitive images, despite them all having been realised by other artists — and often drawn by several before Bolland entered the picture. With this title, the artist remarks "the subject matter is more complicated," necessitating his "working a lot of strange symbolism and subliminal messages into the cover designs" to create "an image that puzzles to a degree and is layered with elements of . I remember seeing 's film Drowning By Numbersin which they had these numbers placed subtley in every scene, and I really liked that idea. So I began to include elements of the issue number The covers for the third volume of The Invisibles were "done on the computer," in part because "Vertigo were paying for "painted" covers and [Bolland] felt [he] had to deliver something more than line and flat color. I was asked to turn his skin color from to blue to tone him down a bit. Bolland's style includes the initial 'rough' outline stage, making it easy for the publisher and, in some cases, the writer to "sign off" on his designs. I just supplied it. Bolland recalls his time drawing Wonder Woman fondly, as one of the few occasions he actually sought work rather than being sought for work. He Brian Bolland Cover to Cover. I usually sit at home optimistically hoping that people love me enough to ring me and offer me work. The end result is that most of the time I'm doing what other people want and not what I want. Wonder Woman was an exception. Well, I wasn't an A-list artist, so I was keen to have a crack at her. Bolland's first cover saw Diana next to the headline: "The Stunning return of comics' greatest heroine! Miss me? Shortly thereafter, Diana underwent another costume change — this time designed by Bolland, and mostly drawn on the interior pages by . Bolland notes that while he tends not to reuse cover ideas, he does occasionally produce "what I like to think of as homages to my own covers. Bolland is currently the cover artist on Vertigo's Fables spin-off Jack of Fablesreplacing previous cover artist . He recalls that he "turned in quite a few roughs, but, disappointingly for me, they were often rejected," previous cover artist being "a hard act to follow. Long-standing familiarity with DC characters and staff, coupled with high demand have combined with other factors to mean that the vast majority of Bolland's work has been for DC Comics. Bolland is noted by some for his use of bondage imagery, although in a humorous self-referential comment, he quotes this "fact" cited as from Wikipediaand states that he is "unsure" of the sentiment's accuracy. Mamoulian page In addition to his early forays into full interior strip art, and his later focus on covers, Bolland has also produced a number of short — often single pages — strips, numerous pin-ups and a pair of ongoing Brian Bolland Cover to Cover humour strips. These latter feature Bolland as writer-artist, his now-preferred method of working. Mamoulian and The Actress and the Bishopall appearances of which strips were collected in the book Bolland Strips!

Among Bolland's other works is the -esque semi- autobiographical stream of consciousness humour strip Mr. Bolland writes in that "[a]fter a while, Nick Landau of Titan Books showed an interest and offered to act as my agent. Bolland's other "personal project" is his occasional strip " The Actress and the Bishop ". Written in rhyming couplets, the pair "look like the punchline of a smutty joke," but their creator instead "wanted the reader to see them in a benign and non-judgemental light" — the antithesis of " Benny HillFrankie Howerd "Oo er, Mrs!
