Skizz, from 2000 AD

Jim Baikie (b. Orkney, 1940) began his career illustrating Valentine for Fleetway. Over the next twenty years, he built a solid reputation working for TV comics such as Look-in, including adaptations of The Monkees and Star Trek, all scripted by Angus P. Allan. He also worked extensively in girls' comics, including Tammy and Jinty, in the 1970s. In the 1980s, he drew "Twilight World" in Warrior, "Skizz", written by Alan Moore, and "Judge Dredd", for 2000 AD, and "New Statesmen" for Crisis, as well as work in American comics, often with Moore. In the 1990s he turned to writing his own scripts on two "Skizz" sequels for 2000 AD.
