Glenn Fabry is a British comic book artist known for his detailed and realistic style, particularly in the horror and fantasy genres. He gained recognition in the late 1980s and early 1990s for his work on the comic book series Hellblazer for DC Comics and Preacher for Vertigo Comics. 

Fabry's style is characterized by his use of light and shadow to create depth and texture, as well as his attention to detail in his rendering of characters and environments. He has worked on covers for major publishers such as Marvel and DC, and has illustrated well-known characters such as Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man. 

Fabry's artwork has been highly influential in the comic book industry, particularly in the horror and fantasy genres. He has won several awards for his work, including an Eisner Award in 1996 for Best Cover Artist.

Simon Bisley is a British comic book artist known for his highly detailed and dynamic artwork, particularly in the science fiction and fantasy genres. He first gained recognition for his work on the popular comic book series ABC Warriors and Sláine for 2000 AD, a British science fiction comic. 

Bisley's style is characterized by his use of strong, bold lines and vivid, highly detailed colors, which often create a chaotic and visceral atmosphere. He has collaborated with major publishers such as DC and Marvel, and has worked on well-known characters such as Batman, Lobo, and Hellblazer. 

Aside from his work in comics, Bisley has also worked on album covers for several heavy metal bands, including Judas Priest and AC/DC. His artwork has been highly influential in the comic book industry and has inspired many artists who followed him.
