About the Artist

Bryan Talbot's first published illustrations appeared in the British Tolkien Society Magazine in 1969 and since then he has become one of the most influential and respected graphic illustrators in the field.

In 1978, Bryan began the epic saga The Adventures of Luther Arkwright which, when collected in one volume in 1982 was one of the first British graphic novels.

He has worked on 2000AD, Judge Dredd by Alan Grant and John Wagner, which included production of full-colour strips for the IPC annuals and a 20 page RPG strip in the first issue of Diceman. For several years Bryan produced work for the American comic company DC on titles such as Hellblazer (with Jamie Delano), Sandman (with Neil Gaiman) and the 200 page prestige format creator-owned series The Nazz (with Tom Veitch).

Other work includes Mask, a two-part Batman story for Legends of the Dark Knight, Raggedy Man, Teknophage and Shadowdeath. Bryan has created a variety of comic strips for publications as diverse as Imagine, Street Comics, Slow Death, Vogarth, Paradox Press's Big Books, The Radio Times, Wired, Knockabout, I.T. and The Manchester Flash.

He has produced magazine illustrations, including covers for DC Superheroes Monthly, Sinclair User and Computer and Video Games, art prints and posters, badges and logos. Bryan has held one-man Comic Art exhibitions in Lancashire, Tuscany, London and New York, appeared in numerous others and is a frequent guest at international Comic festivals.

Editions of his comics are published in Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil, France, Denmark and Finland. His recent graphic novel for Dark Horse Comics, The Tale Of One Bad Rat, won an Eisner Award, a Comic Creators' Guild Award, two UK Comic Art Awards, two US Comic Buyers' Guide Don Thomson Awards and the Internet Comic Award for Best Graphic Novel as well as awards in Spain, Sweden and Canada, was nominated for a British Library Award, The National Cartoonists' Society of America's Rueben Award and a Harvey Award and was included in the New York Times annual recommended reading list. It is now used in several schools, universities and child abuse centres in Britain and America.

His new 284 page graphic Novel, Heart of Empire has just been published in 9 parts by Dark Horse, already winning an Eagle Award and nominations for two Eisners. It is to be collected in one volume later this year. A CD-Rom version is also in the works.
