For
each item, I mentionned (in
blue)
which kind of artwork can be found. Bisley only did
painted covers for many of those items below. "ink" means that
Bisley drew everything, then inked himself, in a story (not
including the cover, except when mentionned); his art was
then colorized ("B&W" means it wasn't
colorized and remains black & white inking only).
As for the years, I chose the actual year when the art
was done (often hand-written by Biz himself on covers),
and if not known, the year when it was first published.
Most second printings are mentionned. If there's a whole
story featuring Bisley art, I mentionned the writer too.
When something is written
in yellow,
that means there's still some "mistery" about
this item, and I hope you'll help me out solving it !
Here goes...
- 1988: "A.B.C.
Warriors: The Black Hole" (2000 AD) Volumes 3 & 4. Writer: Pat
Mills. Artist (B&W

Barker's Hellraiser" trade paperback (Epic comics). Painted cover.
- 1989: "Blade
Warrior" video
game (Image Works). Painted image.
- 1989 ?:
"Speedball 2"
video game (Image Works). Painted image. Note: As I can't see any "signature" on
this picture, I can't be positive Bisley did it. It
definitely looks like he did it, though. I'm not sure
about the year, too.
- 1990: "Gods" video game illustration (Bitmap Brothers/Renegade).
Painted image.

Future (Route 666)" by David Pringle (GW Books,). I think he painted the cover
of that book.

also did #50's "half cover" (painted) and a pin-up inside (ink).

I know he painted covers for this comic book, but I don't know which issues.
