Chris Foss

Chris Foss is best known for his colourful paintings, which adorn the covers of science fiction novels by authors such as Isaac Asimov, and for illustrating The Joy of Sex. He has also produced a three-part cover for 2000 AD, a star scan of Judge Hershey (right), a star scan of Mega-City One and a Judge Dredd story.

Quote from an interview with Foss in 2000 AD prog 953: "On one book I turned in my painting and [the art director] rang to say, 'Had a complaint about the cover. The author said it had nothing to do with the book. Told him to p*** off!'"
