John Wagner

Outside of 2000 AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.

Peter Doherty

Peter Doherty is primarily known to fans of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic as artist of the Young Death series, which opened the Judge Dredd: Megazine’s first volume, but he has also contributed extensively to Judge Dredd, working on the epic Judgment Day as well as many shorter stories, including John Wagner’s classic Bury My Knee At Wounded Heart. Outside of 2000 AD, Doherty’s comic work includes The Dreaming, Superman/Batman: World’s Finest, a Grendel Tales series and Shaolin Cowboy.

Dean Ormston

Dean Ormston’s otherworldly pencils first graced the Megazine, where he contributed to the epic Judge Dredd: Judgement Day saga, and pencilled the popular Raptaur. He is the co-creator of antique oddities Harke and Burr, and has also pencilled Heavy Metal Dredd, Judge Death, Missionary Man, Strange Cases, and Tales of Telguuth. Ormston’s other non-2000 AD work includes The Crow, The Invisibles, The Monarchy, Sandman and the DC/Vertigo series Lucifer and The Books of Magick. He also worked on character designs for the animated CGI series Reboot.

Frazer Irving

Frazer Irving is one of 2000 AD’s brightest stars. His distinctive style, both on co-created strips like A Love Like Blood, Necronauts and Storming Heaven, as well as on Judge Dredd, Judge Death, Future Shocks, Terror Tales, Tharg the Mighty, The Scarlet Apocrypha and Sinister Dexter, quickly brought him to the attention of the US industry.
