About the Author
Rob Williams is the writer of Suicide Squad and Martian Manhunter for DC Comics, Unfollow for Vertigo and Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor for Titan Comics. His previous work for 2000 AD includes Judge Dredd: Titan, The Grievous Journey Of Ichabod Azrael (And The Dead Left In His Wake) and The Ten-Seconders, and he is currently writing Roy of the Rovers for Rebellion.
Arthur Wyatt is a British writer based in the American Pacific Northwest, where he lives with his wife Heather and children Gayle and Verity. He has written extensively for 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, including stories set in the Judge Dredd universe, the 2012 move Dredd universe, and beyond. He was also the founding editor of the British small press magazine FutureQuake.
Henry Flint, winner of the National Comics Awards for Best Comic Artist 2004, is one of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic's rising superstars. Co-creator of Sancho Panzer, Shakara, and the fan-favourite strip, Zombo, his incredibly versatile pencils have also graced A.B.C. Warriors, Judge Dredd/Aliens, Deadlock, Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Nemesis the Warlock, The V.C.'s and Venus Bluegenes. He has even written a Tharg's Alien Invasions strip! He has also worked on several American comics, including Omega Men, Haunted Tank and Fear Itself: Fearsome Four. Away from the comics industry, Henry produced art of the cover of DJ Food's 2012 album, The Search Engine.
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 with three co-created series - Asylum, Dead Men Walking, Harry Kipling (Deceased) - under his belt, he is one of the Galaxy's Greatest's brightest hopes for the future.
Jake Lynch is a Norfolk based Illustrator, best known for his work on Judge Dredd and Proteus Vex for 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. He has also worked on other Rebellion publications such as Action and Vigilant as well as Film/TV, and poster design for others. A self-taught artist, he is living proof that they'll let any idiot in here and, as a self-confessed Sci-Fi nerd, he is often the first to be asked to leave.
