With 'Judge Dredd: Machine Law' in 2000 AD currently knocking the socks off readers and critics alike, the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast welcomes artist Colin MacNeil, whose incredible career at the Galaxy's Greatest Comics easily places him in the roster of all-time top Dredd artists.Beginning his career in 1987, MacNeil has not just been a 2000 AD regular but his distinctive style has graced some of the most profound stories from the last 40 years, from 'Chopper: Song of the Surfer' to 'America' and 'Mechanismo'.
