The English artist Kevin O’Neill designed the original logo for Judge Dredd. He was the assistant art editor for the magazine ‘2000 AD’ where he pushed to have artists and writers and letters credited for their work (something that wasn’t happening at the time in British comics for various reasons). I mostly know O’Neill’s work from the superhero satire ‘Marshal Law.’ which was a relatively violent and acerbic comic about a government-sanctioned superhero killer. It skewered the superhero genre before doing so was cool and it did it without the literary pretensions of a ‘Watchmen’ (not a criticism of ‘Watchmen’, just an observation). While I held some affection for its messiness (and dark humor), I didn’t vibe with its meanness. With that said, I ate up the six-issue series precisely because it was so fucked up and different from the usual comic fair I was buying at the time (i.e. ‘The X-men’ and the like).  If you want to know more about O’Neill, you can read a remembrance at the Gutter Review and there was also a lengthy interview with him on the 2000 AD Thrill-cast. Comic art from ‘’Marshal Law’’, Vol. 1, #2, Feb. 1988
