the world) in September this year. As well as the above titles Cam has
also worked on Star Wars (Boba Fett, Dark Empire and Dark Empire II)
published by Dark Horse.
Alan Grant
One of the heroes of the comic book industry who has worked on too
many comics to list in this press release. Alan worked on Judge Dredd
from the first issue with creator John Wagner.
Alan Grant's main influence on the industry has been on such titles as
Batman, 2000AD Monthly, Judge Dredd, Detective Comics, L.E.G.I.O.N and
Lobo as well as working on Catwoman, Superman Vs The Terminator and
many many more.
He is one of the founders of Bad Press (along with John Wagner, Simon
Bisley and Sue Grant) set up to publish work by themselves and various
artists. And finally let us not forget MacAlien a brand-new, humorous
comic strip by Alan and Jamie Grant, which tells the story of an
extraterrestrial sent to South-West Scotland to observe everyday life
in the village of Moniaive.
Truly a celebrity in his own right Alan will also be at the Moniaive
