His work includes 'A day in the life' (with Glenn Fabry), 'The general and the priest' (with Jim Baikie) and 'Lord Jim' (with Steve Sampson), all for Crisis, as well as 'Nine inches to the mile' with Phil Winslade for Revolver. For 2000 AD he wrote The Clown (pictured), one of Tharg's Future Shocks (with Ron Smith), an episode of Strontium Dogs (in 1993's 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special) and an episode of Vector 13 (in 1996's 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special). He has also written two Judge Hershey stories for the Judge Dredd Megazine.
