The Leopard from Lime Street, fan art piece by Fegredo
Duncan Fegredo is a comics artist born in Leicester in 1964. He broke into the industry by showing his portfolio around UKCAC (the UK Comic Art Convention) in 1987, where he met writer Dave Thorpe. They worked together on the short lived magazine Heartbreak Hotel (on a strip called Repossession Blues), after which Fegredo worked for Fleetway's Crisis title (on New Statesmen and Third World War).
He then moved into American comics, working extensively for Vertigo and DC Comics on various titles including Enigma, Shade the Changing Man and Kid Eternity, as well as for Dark Horse and Marvel, amongst others. He has also worked on Judge Dredd for 2000 AD and drawn for the Judge Dredd Megazine, and has drawn a substantial number of covers for both 2000 AD and the Megazine and numerous American titles. In 2001 he was nominated for an Eisner Award for 'Best Cover Artist' for his work on Vertigo's Lucifer, and in 2007 he won the Eagle Award for 'Favourite Colour Comic Book — American' for Hellboy: Darkness Calls.
In London in 2011 Fegredo helped to set two Guinness World Records, 'Fastest Production of a Comic Book' and 'Most Contributors to a Comic Book'.1
