[...] I highly recommend <i>Megatropolis </i>to fans of Dredd, Noir, and Art Deco design; and if, like me, you're a fan of all three, then it's an absolute triple lock.' - <i>Fortean Times</i><br><br>Dave Taylor's art can only be described as sumptuous... the lights and colours really pop.... the characters and cityscape designs are excellent. <i>- Grovel</i><br><br>Dave Taylor's art is a wonder to behold, beautiful line work, sumptuously and atmospherically coloured, with a wonderful and believable design sense. - <i>Comicscene </i><br><br>Gorgeous art and clever storytelling. - <i>Grovel </i><br><br>'Writer Kenneth Niemand keeps the pace brisk, layering in enough recognisable characters for fans but making sure the story remains accessible on its own terms, while Dave Taylor does an incredible job with his textured, cinematic art, shifting this gloriously retro thriller from enjoyable to unmissable. 5 stars.' - <b><i>SFX </i></b><br><br>A beautiful piece of comics work. - <i>Downthetubes.net</i><br><br>Fabulously enjoyable... what if MC-1 was more like <b></b>James Elroy's<b></b><i><b></b></i><b> LA Confidential</b><i></i>, just with more tech." - Comicon<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A Forces brat, <b>Kenneth Niemand</b>'s first exposure to the world of Judge Dredd was through random copies of <b>2000 AD </b>circulating in various RAF bases around the world. He now writes radio comedy, video games and, increasingly, bits and pieces of the world of<i> Judge Dredd.</i> <p/><b></b><b>Dave Taylor</b><b></b> began drawing comics professionally for Marvel UK after many failed attempts at being a rock star drummer. He was head hunted by DC to work on a <b>Batman</b><i></i> one-shot with <i><b></b></i><b>Grendel</b><i><b></b></i> writer/artist Matt Wagner, going on to work predominantly on <i><b></b></i><b>Batman</b><i><b></b></i> titles such as <i>B<b></b></i><b>atman: Shadow of the Bat</b><i><b></b></i> (with Alan Grant), <b>Detective Comics</b><b>, </b><b>Batman: Black and White</b> and others. His collaboration with graphic designer extraordinaire Chip Kidd on <i><b></b></i><b>Batman: Death by Design</b><b> </b>became a <b>New York Times</b><i><b></b></i><i></i> best seller (twice). Taylor's acclaimed adult only series <b>Tongue Lash</b><i> </i>grew from his friendship with French comic Master Jean Moebius Giraud, who Taylor also worked with on an <b>Arzak</b><i></i> story. He has also produced work for TV, movies and the games industry and is presently employed by the United States Space Force as an extraterrestrial translator.
