A very talented artist, and with a great talent of… what I’d call, for want of a better term, narrative momentum; that is, whilst each panel is well composed and drawn, I still find my eye wanting to move on to the next to see what’s happening – so good art, but not so intricate and impressive as to make the eye dwell too long at the expense of the story (a problem I sometimes have with, for examples, Moebius’ and Alex Ross’ work).
And as kimota says, a downright nice chap; I had a chat with him at a UKCAC in about 1988, and as I chatted with him about how he and Bill Sienkiewicz were reported to have an informal contest to see who could make the most complex multi-media cover (Bill had just done a cover for a Titan Books Judge Dredd which had Dredd on his lawmaster, allegedly with built-in flashing lights, though Dave told me that it was a problem with the circuit that meant that the lights flashed on and off when they should have been on constantly), he signed my copy of Violent Cases. Only when I got home did I realise that he’d also done me a sketch of a man in a trenchcoat.
Decent, talented chap. What more could you ask ?
