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. His television work includes scripts for the BBC series Ace Lightning and the Carnival of Doom. ARTISTS As co-creator of Judge Dredd Carlos Ezquerra designed the classic original costume as well as visually conceptualising Mega-City One. He also co-created Strontium Dog. He has illustrated A.B.C. Warriors, Judge Anderson, Tharg the Mighty, Al’s Baby and Cursed Earth Koburn amongst many others. Outside of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Ezquerra first illustrated Third World War in Crisis magazine, and has since become a regular collaborator with Garth Ennis, working on Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, Bloody Mary, Just a Pilgrim, Condors and The Magnificent Kevin. He also pencilled two special Preacher episodes. Trevor Hairsine’s muscular pencils first wowed 2000 AD readers on Strontium Dogs; he has since co-created Harmony and illustrated Downlode Tales, Judge Anderson, Judge Dredd, Mercy Heights, Missionary Man, One-Offs and Pulp Sci-Fi. Hairsine went on to pencil the first three issues of Com.X’s Cla$$war, and has also pencilled issues of Captain America and Ultimate Six for Marvel Comics. Boo Cook’s 2000 AD debut came some years before he was to provide pencils for the comic proper – as a young man, he sent a fan sketch in to the letters page! Thankfully he continued to hone his art, working on a number of Future Shocks before landing a guest spot on the fan-favourite A.B.C. Warriors series. Cook’s facility with huge crowd scenes and alien designs has quickly established him as a talent to watch, and led to three co-created series including Asylum, Dead Men Walking, Harry Kipling (Deceased). Having illustrated four Judge Anderson series for the Judge Dredd Megazine, Cook is enjoying great success working on Image Comics’ Elephantmen. Patrick Goddard’s clean art style has graced many strips in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Co-creator of the Megazine series Wardog, he has penciled Judge Dredd, Mean Machine, Middenface McNulty, Sinister Dexter and took over the art duties on Savage from Charlie Adlard.
