Pat Mills created Britain’s most successful comic 2000AD, which is the subject of his autobiography Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! 2000AD and Judge Dredd: The Secret History.


He also co-created the girls’ mystery comic Misty, now enjoying new success in collected editions, and wrote many serials for girls comics such as Jinty and Tammy.

Some of his well-loved and long-running British series are the anti-war saga ‘Charley’s War’, the Celtic barbarian ‘Sláine’, the future war robots ‘ABC Warriors’, and ‘Nemesis The Warlock’, a scathing sci-fi satire on racism and colonialism.


He developed and wrote Judge Dredd and Dan Dare, Punisher 2099 series for Marvel and Batman for DC Comics. His Marshal Law—co-created with Kevin O’Neill—was a New York Times Best Seller.


He has written Doctor Who comics and audio plays and his story Star Beast (illustrated by Dave Gibbons) was adapted for the first of the recent Doctor Who 60th Anniversary TV Specials.


Pat’s crime series Accident Man—co-created with Tony Skinner—has been adapted for two feature films starring Scott Adkins.


Pat continues to write all manner of challenging stories today, including the best-selling French graphic novel series Requiem: Vampire Knight (art by Olivier Ledroit), and he is currently working on a World War 1 spy thriller novel.


His latest book is Pageturners: How to write iconic stories, an entertaining journey into the world of creative writing.
