Peter Hogan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter K. Hogan was editor of cult political British comics Crisis and Revolver in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
After Revolver folded, Hogan became a scriptwriter for the 2000 AD comic, working on short story series "Vector 13" and "Tharg's Dragon Tales", as well as reinventing the long-running "Strontium Dog" series as "Strontium Dogs" and supervising the "Durham Red" spin-off series. Hogan also had a short stint working on "Sam Slade, Robo-Hunter". He also created gentle fantasy "Timehouse".
Hogan's writing is noted for a whimsical, fantastic quality that stood out from the more usual hard-edged sci-fi to appear under the 2000AD banner.
However, when David Bishop took on the editorship of 2000AD, he informed Hogan that he would commission no more of Hogan's scripts.
Hogan went on to write books covering the bands R.E.M, Queen and The Doors.
In the '90s, Hogan wrote for some titles on DC Comics' Vertigo line, including The Dreaming and The Sandman Presents: Love Street. More recently, he has worked with Alan Moore on Moore's America's Best Comics series, including his own spin-off title Terra Obscura.
