Mark Harrison (born 22 September 1963) is a British comic book artist and occasional writer. The bulk of his work has appeared in the magazine 2000 AD.[1][2][3][4]

Harrison's fully painted style uses strong, dark colours and computer effects, though recent series The Ten-Seconders (written by Rob Williams) shows him moving towards lighter pencilling.
