2000AD Alan Grant 1949-2022

[UnknownDonut]

Ah Sad news, grew up with a massive love of 2000AD


"Everyone at 2000 AD and Rebellion is devastated to hear of the passing of Alan Grant.

Grant was one of his generation’s finest writers, combining a sharp eye for dialogue and political satire with a deep empathy that made his characters seem incredibly human and rounded. Through his work he had a profound and enduring influence on 2000 AD and on the comics industry."

RIP Alan.

2000AD was a staple in my house and introduced me to comics in general.

I used to read a lot of Batman comics printed in the 1980s and 1990s and he was a regular writer. Always like his material therein.

Shadow of the Bat's The Last Arkham was particularly impressive.

I was lucky to meet Alan a few years ago. He was a very nice man. A brilliant, brilliant writer who wrote some of my all time favourite 2000AD stories. He’ll be missed

RIP

 

[Greebo]

RIP. Read 2000AD from issue 1 and was hooked.

Another great 2000ad writer, I was lucky enough to be young when 2000ad was a real stand out among all the other dross. Most of his dredds have aged surprisingly well.

RIP.

Grew up with 2000AD, and I know I'm going to get grief for this but I always preferred Strontium Dog to Dredd.

Aye shame, loved his work, loved his Dredd, loved judgement on Gotham, and frankly loved the work with Anderson.

 

[Arcane]

What a shame, for me, both him and Brian Bolland produced the stand out 2000AD stuff back in the seventies. I seem to remember getting him to sign a cursed earth covered 2000AD at the Forbidden Planet back when I was 8 or 9.
