Simon Spurrier

Simon Spurrier is a British comics writer who was born in 1981 and is not yet dead. According to his website "He spends much of his time in quiet cafés and pubs, where he exerts an unwanted cosmic magnetism upon any loud or malodorous patrons who should enter." Were a movie to be made of his life, he would probably be played by Burn Gorman.

Spurrier started off writing for the fanzine Zarjaz before working for 2000 AD, writing several of Tharg's Future Shocks and one of Tharg's Terror Tales. For the galaxy's greatest comic he has been the co-creator of Bec & Kawl (with Steve Roberts), Lobster Random (with Carl Critchlow) and From Grace (with Frazer Irving). He also co-created Zancudo (with Cam Kennedy) and The Simping Detective (with Frazer Irving) for the Judge Dredd Megazine.

Spurrier has also written The Scrap (with Richard Elson), Past Imperfect, Judge Dredd, Harry Kipling (with Boo Cook), London Falling (with Lee Garbett), Chiaroscuro (with Smudge and The Vort (with D'Israeli), all for 2000 AD. And he's written Tales from the Black Museum, The Dark Judges and The Angel Gang for the Judge Dredd Megazine.
