Simon Bisley. Hmm... I'm not sure that there was. I know that the very early ones (who drew them again?) were collected.

I thought biz drew the very first ones but I might be wrong.

I think the Biz was probably still at school when the ABC Warriors first appeared.

Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill created the strip and it was also drawn by Mike McMahon, Brendan McCarthy, and others.

You're right, he definitely had a stint at it. Sometime in the 1990s I think. (I gave up on the comic for a few years in that decade.)

Yes, Biz did do it in the 90s when they came back. It was indeed O'Neill who did Ro-Busters and later the original ABC Warriors, not to mention Nemesis.

And Dave Gibbons did a stint on the original ABC Warriors when they were sent to Mars. Plus Mike Mcmahon's art graced the cover of Queen's album News Of The World or to be more exact, inspired the cover, but on looking at the dates, that now seems to be an urban legend. The album came out in 1977, but Mike McMahon's Big George didn't appear in ABC Warriors until 1979.

I found two books on amazon , one is by Biz so I think that might be the collection from the nineties, the other was all the original artists which i found in a comic shop, that one had big george in it. they didn't have the biz one but at least trusty old amazon has it. all those artist on it gibbons etc are all awsome but i'm not sure what it is about Biz but I just find myself staring and staring and staring at his pages. His Lobo work is great
and his painted stories are beautiful. i picked up a book he did with all pencil sketches about Angels that was printed recently, some of his best work ever in that.
