2000 AD Guests at SFX Event Blackpool - 21-23 June 2002

Matt Smith - Matt has been the editor of 2000 AD since December 2001, and has been busy commissioning mind-blowing new strips for the Galaxy's Greatest Comic when not feeding Tharg polystyrene cups. Matt is in the frontline of British comics, searching his way through piles of submissions to find writers and artists to create new stories for the magazine that gave the world Alan Moore, Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Dave Gibbons and Simon Bisley, among many others.
 
David Bishop - David has been editor of both the Megazine (twice!) and 2000 AD, and has been involved in all parts of the publishing process including writing and lettering stories. There's very little about  2000 AD and British comics David doesn't know, and that knowledge is currently being shared every month in the Megazine in the enlightening and somewhat scurrilous History of 2000 AD. David has recently scripted two Judge Dredd audiobooks, and he has a monthly column in Comics International.
 
John Smith - One of 2000 AD's most prolific writers, John Smith has worked on a range of 2000 AD strips, notably the legendary Rogue Trooper story Cinnabar as well as a large number of Dredd stories. John is responsible for creating the popular characters Devlin Waugh and Revere, and more recently was responsible for the lycanthropic Romeo & Juliet tale A Love Like Blood.
 
Jock - Jock is a relatively recent addition to the 2000 AD pool of artists, but his fresh, gritty style has already garnered him a bunch of award nominations. Most well known for his work on the Megazine strip Lenny Zero (written by ex-2000 AD editor Andy Diggle), Jock has also drawn a number of Judge Dredd stories and is responsible for some of the most stunning 2000 AD covers of recent times. Jock's work can currently be seen gracing the final Tor Cyan story in 2000 AD.
 
Frazer Irving - The irrepressible Frazer Irving has managed (with some eldritch time-warping device of his own creation) to win the National Comics Award for best newcomer two years running, and his distinctive art style has raised a great deal of interest on both sides of the Atlantic. Frazer's most recent work includes a searing Judge Death strip for 2000 AD, and he has also been responsible for art duties on highly praised strips such as Necronauts and Storming Heaven, as well as the forthcoming Dark Horse series, Fort.

Mike Collins - The multi-talented Mike Collins has both written and drawn for 2000 AD over his time working for the magazine. Mike has been responsible for art duties on a number of legendary 2000 AD characters, including Judge Dredd, Slaine and Rogue Trooper, as well as many episodes of the well-known Daily Star Dredd strips. Mike has also written a number of Future Shocks for 2000 AD.

Carl Critchlow - Carl has been responsible for a variety of 2000 AD strips, including lengthy runs on Flesh and Nemesis The Warlock, as well as a Mean Machine series for the Megazine and the Batman/Dredd crossover The Ultimate Riddle. Carl is also responsible for unleashing on the world the long-running White Dwarf series Thrud The Barbarian (now starring in his own comic).

Peter Doherty - Peter Doherty has worked exclusively on Dredd- related material for 2000 AD, with 'Justice One' representing his longest individual run on the Judge, although he also drew the Judge Death miniseries 'Boyhood of a Superfiend' and contributed to the epic 'Judgement Day'. His US work includes Grendel Tales.
