Author Biography

Pat  Mills is the creator and first editor of 2000 AD. For the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, he is the writer and co-creator of ABC Warriors, Finn, Flesh, Nemesis the Warlock , Slaine, Mach 1, Halrem Heroes and  Savage. He  also developed Judge Dredd and wrote one of the early Dredd serials-

"The Cursed Earth.' He wrote Third World War forCrisis!, a politically-charged spinn-off from

2000 AD, and Black Siddha for the Judge Dredd Megazine.  He has recently completed 'Slaine-

Outside 2000 AD. he is the writer and co-creator of the long-running classic anti-war story 

Charley's War, as well as Marshal Law. He has also written Batman, Star Wars and Zombie World series for the US market.

Currently Mills is writing the best-selling series Requiem-Vampire Knight for Editions Nickel of France with artist Olivier Ledroit, and a spin-off series. Claudia- Vampire Knight, with artist

Frank Tacito. Two further French series are in production.

Mike McMahon: although McMahon may not have illustrated as many strips as other 2000 AD creators, his importance to the comic cannot be overstated. It was McMahon who co-created perennial classics A.B.C. QWarriors and The V.C.'s and it was also McMahon who gave Judge Dredd

his classic, defining, "big boots" look-and two major characters in Max Normal and Rico Dredd.

McMahon has also illustrated One-Offs, Ro-Busters, and provided a classic run on Slaine, where his dense woodcut-styled art wows readers young and old. Outside of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, he has pencilled Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and  The Last American, which he co-created with John Wagner.
