'''Cliff Robinson''' is a British [[comic book]] artist, probably best known for his cover work on [[2000 AD (comic)|2000 AD]], and contributions to the ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' strip.

==Biography==
Clifford Robinson was raised in [[Gorleston-on-Sea]], [[Norfolk]], England.

Robinson has an extremely precise [[Inker|inking]] style which is extremely well suited to producing detailed, composed single images for cover art.  But his strip work has also been praised highly by, among others, [[Gordon Rennie]].  This excerpt from a 2004 interview<ref>[http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2004/rennie/rennie2.shtml 2000 AD Review – Gordon Rennie Interview<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060525164412/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/features/interviews/2004/rennie/rennie2.shtml |date=2006-05-25 }}</ref> demonstrates the regard in which Robinson’s art is held by the ''2000 AD'' writers:
{{cquote|'''Q''' - "Have you ever had an artist turn in something, and thought ‘Oh No! What have they done?!"<br />
'''A''' - "Yeah, but what can you do? The reverse happens too, of course. You turn in a script you maybe didn't think was so great, and the artist really brings it to life. That happened on a Dredd story I did called 'Couch Potatoes'. I quite liked it, but I thought there were too many corny lines in it about mashed potatoes. Cliff Robinson did an incredible job on it, though, and people absolutely loved it."}}

Robinson’s strip work outside Judge Dredd has been quite limited, though he did create the strip ''Mother Earth'' with [[Bernie Jaye]].
