Peter Milligan was at the forefront of the 1990s "British
Invasion," introducing a revolutionary new breed of comic books for
an adult audience. His Eisner Award-nominated DC/Vertigo series
Shade the Changing Man offered a satirical look at American culture
from the point of view of an alien visitor from another dimension.
Enigma cemented Milligan's reputation for unparalleled weirdness,
and Human Target's sharp deconstruction of the action-movie
paradigm demonstrated his versatility. But the critically acclaimed
Marvel series X-Force (later X-Statix), with its unique
interpretation of the mutant condition, stands as perhaps his most
popular work. His other Marvel credits include X-Men, Sub-Mariner-
The Depths and 5 Ronin.
Artist Michael Allred established himself as a leading creative
force in the industry with his creation Madman, which earned him
three Eisner Award nominations and a Harvey Award win for Best New
Series. He first came to Marvel in 2001, helping relaunch the
pop-inspired and acclaimed X-Force (later X-Statix). He illustrated
The Golden Plates, an adaptation of the Book of Mormon, and began a
new Madman series, Madman Atomic Comics, for Image Comics. Allred
and Neil Gaiman created the Metamorpho story in DC Comics' Eisner
and Harvey Award-winning Wednesday Comics, while his DC/Vertigo
collaboration with Chris Roberson, iZOMBIE, was adapted into a TV
series. He returned to Marvel with FF and then Silver Surfer.
Allred is also an accomplished filmmaker, actor and
singer/guitarist for The Gear.
