Peter Harris is a comics writer who work includes:
- Co-writing the first ever Judge Dredd story to appear in 2000 AD (whence the image on the right is taken)
- M.A.C.H. One in 2000 AD
- Tharg's Future Shocks in 2000 AD
The first ever Dredd story helped establish many important elements of Dredd's world, including the post of Chief Judge (although it was called 'Grand Judge' in that story); a city divided into 'sections' (later 'sectors') and full of miles-high buildings that dwarfed the twentieth-century skyscrapers; Judges' name badges; Lawmasters (the Judges' computer-controlled bikes); and Dredd's strong independent, can-do streak. However, in that story Dredd's city was described as "New York 2099 AD." Later episodes revealed that New York was just part of the super-conurbation Mega-City One, which covered the east coast of what used to be the USA.
