DYLAN TEAGUE
Tell us a little about yourself as an artist, how you got started, and a bit about your career so far.
I’ve drawn for as long as I can remember. Around the age of 14/15 I got really into comics and started to draw my own. At about 19 I started to send off samples to 2000 AD and Marvel UK. I got some okay feedback and about a year or so later got my first job for 2000 AD.
Since then I’ve done the bulk of my comics stuff for 2000 AD but have also worked for DC Comics, Marvel, Delcourt and Kennes Editions. Outside of comics I’ve done some storyboarding and magazine illos, and currently I do a lot of design work for Sky TV.
What’s your relationship to comics and 2000 AD specifically? Are there any key characters or stories that you feel epitomise what 2000 AD is all about?
I’ve always been a big fan of 2000 AD, I started by collecting the old Titan reprints. I’ve loved the artwork, sci-fi ideas and black humour that 2000 AD produces, I think it has a uniquely British sense of humour. This is probably a big reason why Dredd has never really been a success with the Americans. Dredd really sums up what 2000 AD is about.
It’s 2000 AD’s anniversary. Is there a single highlight you could pick out from over the years? (This can be something you have created.)
It’s been brilliant to get to draw for 2000 AD, my school exercise books used to be full up with pictures of Dredd, so much so that I’d often have to pay for new ones! My highlights are stories like Block Mania and City of the Damned in Dredd, and I was also a big fan of Rogue Trooper and Zenith.
