Ian Edginton

Ian Edginton is a British comics writer with a penchant for steampunk. His early work includes 'God's Little Acre' in Revolver and work for Dark Horse, Marvel, DC, Boom! Studios and other US publishing companies. For 2000 AD he has co-created The Red Seas, Leviathan, American Gothic, Stone Island, Stickleback, Ampney Crucis Investigates, Interceptor, Detonator X and Brass Sun. Pictured is the Blind Watchmaker from Brass Sun, who destroyed the solar system in order to use the materials to build a giant clockwork version. It sounds like the sort of thing Edginton would do: "It needs more cogs! Everything's better with cogs!"

He has also written Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper for 2000 AD, in addition to some Torchwood comics for Torchwood Magazine. Plus he's scripted comics adaptations of The Picture Of Dorian Gray, four Sherlock Holmes stories and A Princess of Mars. Edginton is basically a one-man thrill machine.
