Boo Cook :
“A while back I mentioned I did a piece of art that took me six and a half weeks, it wasn’t a drawing of Bod, it was this – the spine art for the new Hachette 2000AD Ultimate Collection. Being such a massive AD fan it was a huge honour for me to be given this job of a lifetime and I had an absolute hoot drawing all my fave characters. Here’s the whole piece, plus some selected highlights and the original pencils – two meters long!”
