A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Grant Morrison is one of the most successful ex-2000 AD writers, with a host of critical awards and a huge following. They began their career on Marvel UK’s Zoids before coming to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, where their strip Zenith became a fan-favourite. At first a prolific writer of ‘mature readers’ comics, including the award-winning Animal Man, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Doom Patrol, The Invisibles and The Filth for Vertigo, they have gone on to write successful runs on the X-Men and Batman and won numerous awards for their work on All-Star Superman.

With over 300 2000 AD stories to his name – not to mention over 250 Daily Star Judge Dredd strips – Alan Grant’s prolific creative record speaks for itself. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Grant is well-known to Batman fans following a lengthy run on various incarnations of the title. More recently he has adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy.

Peter Milligan is one of 2000 AD’s most prolific story creators, and has now, of course, graduated to much wider comics fame. As well as co-creating Hewligan’s Haircut with Jamie Hewlett, Milligan created the classic future war story Bad Company, in addition to creating Freaks, Shadows, Sooner or Later, The Dead and Tribal Memories. He also contributed several short stories and Future Shocks, and has written Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper stories. His work outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic has received enormous critical and fan acclaim; notably Vertigo’s existentialist superhero mystery Enigma, via The Eaters, Human Target, Girl, Tank Girl: The Odyssey, A1, Animal Man, Batman, Minx, Shade the Changing Man and Skreemer. His most recent works are Marvel’s best-selling X-Statix, a vicious pop culture satire, and Vertigo Pop! London, a rock ‘n’ roll tale of the big city.

Best known for writing Transformers comics, Simon Furman was instrumental in making Marvel UK a success. During the eighties and nineties he worked on many titles for them, including the aforementioned Transformers and also Action Force, Thundercats, Doctor Who Magazine as well as two series he helped create – Dragon’s Claws and Death’s Head. More recently he has written the Annihilation: Rohan miniseries for Marvel US and the ten issue maxi-series To The Death series, drawn by his Transformers workmate, Geoff Senior.

Kevin O’Neill was a 2000 AD legend. From working as an art assistant on the very first prog, he quickly became involved in the creative side of the comic, co-creating classics like A.B.C. Warriors, Bonjo From Beyond The Stars, Metalzoic and Nemesis the Warlock. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, O’Neill was briefly notorious as the only artist ever to have his work rejected wholesale by the Comics Code Authority! Happily, his notoriety quickly became fame and acclaim, as his work on strips like Marshal Law and most recently The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen raised him to a very high profile.
