🎂🎨 Happy Birthday Angus McKie (born July 1951 in Newcastle upon Tyne) is a British comics creator who has worked as an artist, inker, writer and colourist. McKie was an early employer of computer-generated artwork. He has worked frequently with fellow British creators Dave Gibbons and Bryan Talbot. He is best known as a science fiction illustrator whose work appeared on the covers of numerous science fiction paperback novels in the mid-1970s and 1980s, as well as in Stewart Cowley’s Terran Trade Authority series of illustrated books. McKie’s illustrations often present highly detailed spacecraft against vividly colored backgrounds and high-tech constructions, examples of which include So Beautiful and So Dangerous (1979) and The Dome: Ground Zero (1998), as well as the cover for the 1978 Vangelis album Hypothesis. McKie’s earliest professional comics work was published in late 1970s/early ‘80s British anthologies like Brainstorm Comix, House of Hammer, and Pssst!. McKie’s 64-page graphic novel So Beautiful and So Dangerous (Heavy Metal/Simon & Schuster, 1979) follows the surreal and whimsical adventures of various characters, including a green alien named Sisyphus, a robot named Titan, and a Woody Allen lookalike, as they navigate a universe filled with bizarre civilizations and philosophical musings. —Wikipedia ⁣—this cosmic cat dropped some groovy lines…fans? .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #Angusmckie ⚛︎ #Comicbookartist ⚛︎ #Comicbookpanel ⚛︎ #Dawnofthedead ⚛︎ #Forbiddenfutures ⚛︎ #Heavymetalmagazine ⚛︎ #Oddness___ ⚛︎ #Psychedelicart ⚛︎ #Sciencefiction ⚛︎ #Sciencefictionart ⚛︎ #Scifi ⚛︎ #Scifiart ⚛︎ #Vintagecomics ⚛︎ #Vintagemagazines ⚛︎
