Description
HAIR-RAISING ADVENTURES IN MEGA-CITY ONE!
Mega-City One - A vast, nightmarish future metropolis built on top of the polluted cities that once populated the eastern seaboard of the United States. The forgotten Undercity is now a lawless refuge for unwanted outcasts from the 'Big Meg' - mutants, monsters and escaped criminals all struggle to survive on the streets of old Manhattan.
A chemical spill in the Undercity has spawned a race of super-stong lycanthropes, all desperate to get above ground and feast on the flesh of Mega-City One's citizens. Things could get hairy, but thankfully Judge Dredd is on the case!
This collection of dog-eat-dog tales features some of 2000 AD's finest talents, including John 'the werewolf' Wagner (A History of Violence), 'growling' Gordon Rennie (Necronauts), 'snarling' Steve Dillon (Preacher) and 'lycanthropic' Leigh Gallagher (Defoe), amongst others.

More recently he has adapted Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy. His television work includes scripts for the BBC series Ace Lightning and the Carnival of Doom.

He is also co-creator of fan-favourite Russian rogue Nikolai Dante, which won an Eagle award for 'Best UK Character', beating Judge Dredd to this accolade for the first time in almost twenty years. In the US, he has written Spider-Man's Tangled Web for Marvel and The Authority for DC/WildStorm. His and artist Charlie Adlard's critically acclaimed graphic novel White Death has also been hugely successful in both Europe and the US.
