He's a write-for-hire type, if that's the correct phrase.

Does quite a lot of writing on Titan's licensed stuff, too — I worked on one of his Vikings mini-series, amongst other things.

Doesn't he write some of the Doctor Who stuff as well. I can't honestly remember which title, but I see his name on the adverts for other titles in the 11th Doc stuff.

He's been writing Doctor Who media since at least the early 2000's, when he wrote his first Doctor Who audio for Big Finish. He's certainly done a few Doctor Who comic strips in his time.

Hmmm, that's The Order collection on my radar for birthday-time in May, with suitably large and totally unsubtle hints having been dropped in Mrs. D's direction. It will have to get in line behind the 3rd Monsterology collection, though only if that's not out by May.
*looks at list, sighs*
I need a better job.  :lol:
Just a little rough and tumble, Judge man.

O Lucky Stevie!

Necrophim (quite appositely) receives the floppy treatment with Meg 384.

But Psi Judge Lamia courtesy of Edgy & Taylor with Live Evil, which follows Wagner & McCrea's Harvey in the Dredd slot in the prog.

Grey Area collections, AT LAST!

I still think they're missing a trick by calling the two volumes the mundane "Book One" and "Book Two".  The Leopard's catchphrase would make two good titles - "TLFLS: Catch Me if You Can" and "TLFLS: Hunt Me if You Dare".

Still missing "As seen in Grant Morrison's ZENITH" on the cover but eh, still an instant buy.

"Billy Farmer lives with his Aunt Joan and Uncle Charlie in the when he is scratched by a radioactive leopard  at the local zoo.

With warmth, wit, and stunning artwork by Mike Western and Eric Bradbury, The Leopard from Lime Street is a gem of 1970s and 1980s British comics.

Hook Jaw: Archive - Hardcover, Titan Comics, 12th September 2017

There's so much to be excited about there. Not sure which one I'm looking forward to must Leopard from Lime Street or Hookjaw?

I don't think I know 'Marney the Fox' at all. Can anyone tell me more?
