Sean Phillips is one of the most acclaimed artists working in comics today, with credits including Fatale, Night Fever and Reckless. He’s also the co-creator of Criminal, alongside Ed Brubaker, which will soon be coming to Amazon Prime as a new TV series starring Charlie Hunnam and Emilia Clarke. This year, 2000 AD celebrates his career to date with The 2000 AD Art of Sean Phillips, an incredible showcase of a master artist’s work!
Superstar artist Sean Philips is perhaps best known for his hugely-successful creative partnership with writer Ed Brubaker, including the dark crime series Criminal, soon to be an Amazon Prime series starring Charlie Hunnam, Emilia Clarke and Luke Evans. Before breaking through into the US comics market, however, Phillips was already a star in the UK thanks to his pioneering work at 2000 AD.
Quickly proving himself a fan-favourite on stories like Danzig’s Inferno and Vector 13, Phillips then provided art for Sinister Dexter and Judge Dredd, amongst others. Perhaps his best-known work for 2000 AD remains the two iconic characters he co-created for The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, however: vampiric Judge exorcist Devlin Waugh, and no-nonsense Brit-Cit Detective Armitage.
This fascinating collection will be published in October in retail hardcover for book and comic book stores, a 2000 AD webshop exclusive hardcover edition with special cover, and a very limited number of special hardcover ‘sketch’ editions – each one with a personal sketch by Phillips – which will be exclusively available for 2000 AD subscribers to pre-order through the 2000 AD webshop.
“With 2000 AD being a science-fiction comic”, says Phillips, “it’s apt that this gorgeous collection of my old work is working like a time machine for me! I drew these stories over thirty years ago – but looking at them again instantly transports me back when I was thinner with more hair. Hopefully for you reading them now time-travel is as possible as any of the other sci-fi concepts contained within…”
Featuring a new cover painted by Phillips which showcases iconic characters including Judge Dredd, Devlin Waugh, Armitage, Chopper and more, this is a must-have for any comics fan. Quite simply, it’s a masterclass from the master artist!
The 2000 AD Art of Sean Phillips will be published by Rebellion this October – don’t miss it!

THE BOOK OF DREDD
Mega-City One, a dystopian nightmare of the future teetering on the brink of chaos. The only thing stopping the sprawling megalopolis from succumbing to the mayhem, maniacs and murderers are the Judges, and toughest of them all is Judge Dredd.
The best-selling series collecting The Law in order continues as Dredd uncovers a decades-old cover-up that will see justice come for the Judges themselves and, one hotel, one night, multiple psychopaths, but who will live to see daybreak?
