He is also the creator of <em>Action</em>, co-creator of <em>Battle</em>, <em>Misty</em>, <em>Marshal Law</em>, <em>Requiem Vampire Knight</em>, <em>Charley's War </em>(described as "the greatest British comic strip ever created") and the black comedy text novel <em>Serial Killer</em>.<br /> <br /> As <em>2000AD</em> and J<em>udge Dredd</em> celebrates its 40th birthday, Pat at last writes the definitive history of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, and the turbulent, extraordinary and exciting events that shaped it.<br /> <br /> <em>Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave!</em> is the infamous slogan of Torquemada, the comic's favourite villain. It once appeared on the Berlin Wall, and symbolizes the subversive nature of <em>2000AD</em>that changed so many readers' lives and influenced generations of film directors, actors, rock bands, novelists and even school headmasters.<br /> <br /> Everything you've always wanted to know about <em>Judge Dredd</em>, <em>Slaine</em>, <em>Nemesis</em>, <em>ABC Warriors</em>, <em>Flesh</em>, <em>Bill Savage</em> and more, is in this book. Plus the writers and artists who created them and the real-life people and events they drew on for inspiration. The scandals, the back-stabbing and the shocking story that was regarded as "too sensitive" to ever see the light of day is finally told.<br /> <br /> Pat relates the dark story of the maths teacher who inspired his version of <em>Judge Dredd</em>, the creators' angry battles with the censors and each other, why certain writers, stories and even readers have been banished from the comic, a step-by-step account of how <em>Judge Dredd</em> was created, and how to write or draw for<em> 2000AD</em> today. <br /> <br /> There are new insights on the <em>2000AD</em> creators' invasion of American comics, their failed French invasion, the <em>Judge Dredd</em> films, the forthcoming <em>Judge Dredd</em> TV series, other possible films featuring <em>2000AD</em> heroes, the unusual secret of the comic's current success, the tough challenges it faces today, and its exciting future. <br /> <br /> From the hilarious origins when <em>Judge Dredd</em> writer-creator John Wagner and Pat began their careers writing together in a garden shed by paraffin lamp, to the tragic stories of legendary comic artists who have passed, and the challenges as <em>2000AD</em> fought for survival against The Suits determined to destroy it, this is a unique, personal, and passionate account by the man who made <em>2000AD</em> happen. <br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Funny, sad, angry, defiant, and outrageous: it's the Comic Book memoir of the year</strong></p>
