Robots in Disgust!
Pat Mills is the creator and first editor of 2000 AD. He developed
Judge Dredd and is the writer-creator of many of 2000 AD’s most
popular stories such as Sláine, Nemesis and A.B.C. Warriors.
Amongst his credits are Marshal Law (Marvel and DC Comics),
co-created with Kevin O’Neill, the French graphic novel series
Requiem, Vampire Knight with artist Olivier Ledroit, and Be Pure!
Be Vigilant! Behave! The Secret History of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd.
His current projects include Joe Pineapples: Tin Man, illustrated
by Simon Bisley and Clint Langley, Spacewarp, and Kiss My Axe! The
Secret History of Sláine the Warped Warrior.
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.
Dave Gibbons is one of 2000 AD’s most popular artists, having
co-created Harlem Heroes and Rogue Trooper. He has also pencilled
A.B.C. Warriors, Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, Mega-City One, Ro-Busters,
Tharg the Mighty, Tharg’s Future Shocks and Time Twisters, as well
as having scripted several Rogue Trooper stories – making Gibbons
one of the few 2000 AD creators to have served as writer, artist
and letterer! Beyond 2000 AD, Gibbons is unquestionably best known
for his work on the award-winning classic Watchmen (with Alan
Moore), but he has also drawn Batman, Doctor Who, Give Me Liberty,
Green Lantern, Superman, Star Wars and his graphic novel, The
Originals.
Perhaps the most widely respected comic writer of the modern era,
Alan Moore’s contribution to the comics world is incalculable.
Creator of some of 2000 AD’s most popular series, including Abelard
Snazz, The Ballad of Halo Jones, D.R. & Quinch and Skizz, he has
also worked on A.B.C. Warriors, Ro-Busters, Rogue Trooper, Ro-Jaws’
Robo-Tales, Tharg the Mighty, Time Twisters and several one-off
strips. Outside of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Moore is best known
for his work on the classic Watchmen, which redefined the superhero
genre in 1986, but this is simply touching the surface of a career
which has included 1963, A1’s Warpsmiths, Bojeffries Saga and
Maxwell the Magic Cat, AARGH!, Batman, Big Numbers, Brought to
Light, Captain Britain, Deathblow, Flesh and Bones, From Hell,
Glory, Green Lantern Corps, Lost Girls, Miracleman, A Small
Killing, Snakes and Ladders, Spawn, Supreme, Swamp Thing, Superman
, V For Vendetta, WildC.A.T.S. and Youngblood. Moore is now owner
and chief writer of the America’s Best Comics line, distributed by
WildStorm, and including Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories,
Top Ten and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which has been
made into a major Hollywood movie.
