  Brian Bolland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Bolland (born 1950, Lincolnshire) is a comics artist, famous for his confident linework and eye catching compositions.
Bolland's early work on Dredd was much influenced by Mike McMahon who was regarded as the senior artist on the strip and would redraw characters or panels if he was not happy with them.
Len Wein brought Bolland to the US market as the artist on DC's Camelot 3000 12-issue limited series, with Mike Barr (dealing with the return of King Arthur to save England from an alien invasion in the Year 3000), and on the Batman graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke, written by Alan Moore.

 Inside Pulse v2 .::. The Nexus Files: Brian Bolland Pt. 1
Brian Bolland's version of Batman was a far cry from the raw energy of Frank Miller's Batman as seen in The Dark Knight Returns.
However, Brian Bolland was always able to give his Batman a maturity and sophistication that was lacking in the regular Batman comics (*cough*Death In the Family*cough*).
Bolland's mixture of the classical and the modern is shown in his depiction of the Joker, where without massive distortion of the character's design he is ably to imbue the character with menace and evil that artists such as Jim Starlin had noticeably failed to.

 Inside Pulse v2 .::. The Nexus Files: Brian Bolland Pt. 3
And the man who started it all was Brian Bolland, whose 1979 Green Lantern covers and the resulting relationship he established with DC Comics paved the way for many other British artists to cross the pond.
Bolland had been a fan of Green Lantern since his childhood and Staton phoned his editor and said to him "There's a guy here who'd really like to draw the cover of this issue".
Bolland had spent almost his entire career from 1977 to 1981 drawing the distinctly non-emotional Judge Dredd and so having to show emotion would be a new and distinct challenge for him.

Getting back to that peculiar sense of modesty, if not self- deprecation, in the persona of Brian Bolland, one is confronted with certain surprises, not the least of which is Brian's total disregard for the value of his art.
Brian's taste in comic books is as arcane as his taste in food and music.
Brian's thoughts on life, art and humor are truly unique, which has made him a big favorite among European convention-goers.

is a collection of personal comic work by Brian Bolland, including the complete idiosyncratic adventures of Mr Mamoulian, which originally appeared in Escape and Negative Burn in the early 1990s, together with other short strips on which Brian Bolland is the sole creator.
"Brian Bolland is a neurological marvel, wired with no transmission gap between his extraordinary mind and statue-steady drawing hand, his imagery like perfect rub-down transfers still wet from the brain, exquisitely imprinted with no detail lost.
Here is all the craft of the great 18th Century engravers brought to bear upon a vision that is at once timeless and contemporary, by one of the most striking and compelling illustrators of his day, each piece of visual banquet to be wolfed down far too quickly by a grateful, half-starved audience.

 Comicology #4 - Brian Bolland Interiew Michael Bendis Interview - TwoMorrows Publishing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Bolland's first major work for an American publisher, DC's Camelot 3000 — he clearly has a way with millennial milestones — proved that the industry was ready for a direct-market-only "maxiseries" featuring British talent and egregiously late final issues years before Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen.
This is the interview's first publication in print, in English, and in its updated entirety, and we wish to thank the subject for time spent not only racking his memory but combing through his files to bring Comicology's _audience the largest and most diverse gallery of Bolland artwork yet assembled.
It was "supposed to be a cover," according to Brian; there's even space for a logo.

And I disagree reluctantly because Alan Moore's writing is actually very clever and Brian Bolland's artwork is simply gorgeous.
Bolland's great work is in evidence everywhere, notably in the first few wordless pages featuring very evocative visual narration; and it's easy to understand why colorist John Higgins' name was included on the cover.
Ironic that the best (by MILES) Batman story ever written was by Englishman Alan Moore, and that the wonderful artwork was by another Englishman, Brian Bolland both famous for the wonderful and original Judge Dredd comics.

Illustrator Brian Bolland has touched the limits of what can be done in the mainstream comic medium, surpassing even Dave Gibbons in *Watchmen* (that undisputed *Citizen Kane* of graphic novels).
It may seem silly to try and "intellectualize" comics, but as the medium develops, a more sophisticated criticism is required to play catch-up with its images and explorations, and Alan Moore has long been a figurehead worth catching up to.
Bolland (why doesn't he do more interiors these days?) is the best Joker (and Batman) artist of all time.

 Judgedredd.htm Review of the John Wagner, Brian Bolland Graphic Novel Judge Dredd featuring Judge Death
And where better to start than with the Judge Death stories and the quintessential Dredd artist, Brian Bolland.
In fact, Death is only present for half this volume, reprinting his first two appearances (progs 149-151 and 224-228 for those who care), the other half being seven different tales from 1978 and '79, including the excellent "Face-Change Crimes" (Prog 52) and "The Fog" (Prog 127) in which Bolland gets to draw various movie favourites.
Obviously this is a bit expensive for fl & white artwork, but this is nonetheless a lovely edition celebrating a character about to enjoy his 25th birthday (26/2/2002 is 2000AD's Silver Anniversary, if you care).
