Alan McKenzie

Alan McKenzie, whose website can be found here, wore the mantle of Tharg in 1994 when he served as the editor of 2000 AD. (Then Tharg found out and made him give it back.) He started his career working at Marvel UK, for whom he edited the Starburst, Cinema and Doctor Who monthly magazines, before leaving them in 1985 to write comic strips for Doctor Who monthly instead (using the nom de plume 'Max Stockbridge').

McKenzie joined 2000 AD in 1987 and worked on many series for them, including episodes of Tharg's Future Shocks (in common with every other British comics artist/writer around in the 1980s), The Journal of Luke Kirby (Harry Potter avant la lettre), Moonrunners (which he co-created), Bradley, Mean Arena, Vector 13 and Chopper. He has also written three non-fiction books.
