Button Man

Morbid, moody, adult and English. All things people don't associate with comics are all the things you'll find represent this acclaimed graphic novel set in the underworld of London and originally run in 2000AD Magazine.

Written by John Wagner (of Judge Dredd, Batman, Aliens and Boba Fett fame) and illustrated by my favourite Arhur Ranson. Always a more serious type of illustrator, Ranson's style perfectly matched Wagner's non-American writing and 2000AD most successful non-science-fiction story. If you want to know more, I'm not wikipedia, so go there instead...

More on Arthur Ranson

The above is another favourite drawing from one of my favourite artist type guys, Arthur Ranson. Taken form a strip called Shamballa published by 2000AD sometime in the 90's (I'll chuck a link below so I don't get sued by anyone). I'm pretty sure it's based on some Tibetan temple somewhere. Probably in Tibet I guess. The way this guy worked was with a light-box that could change the size of the pictures he was working from and inks. He got a lot of flak from 'tracing' stuff, but it takes skill make something look this good. The ends justifies the means, unless it's war or a road trip to Slough.
