Diggle me this: how does a bloke from the other side of the pond not only break into American comics but become one of the industry's leading writers? When it comes to Andy Diggle, it's about a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck. After starting as an editor on such UK magazines as Judge Dredd, Sonic the Comic, and 2000 AD (in the year 2000 AD!), Andy started writing his own stories in the same magazines. Then it was off to America, where he started writing for Vertigo and DC on titles like Lady Constantine, The Losers, Swamp Thing, Adam Strange, Silent Dragon, and Green Arrow: Year One (which formed the blueprint for the Arrow TV series). Over at Marvel, he wrote Thunderbolts and the Daredevil crossover event Shadowland, among other titles.Now, he's helping resurrect DC's Elseworlds imprint with the miniseries Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age, the debut issue of which just came out on 6/11/24!
