Peter Milligan (born June 24, 1961) is a British writer known for his work in comics, film, and television
Milligan, born in London, England, began his comic career with short stories for 2000 AD in the early eighties. In 1986, Milligan worked on 2000AD on the title "Bad Company", with artists Brett Ewins and Jim McCarthy. "Bad Company" was a popular future war story and helped Milligan make a name for himself in the comic world
At the same time, Milligan, Ewins, and Brendan McCarthy had been working on the anthology title, Strange Days for Eclipse Comics. Strange Days featured three lines, "Paradax", "Freakwave", and "Johnny Nemo". Milligan, McCarthy, and Ewins produced three issues of this psychedelic comic, it was not a big sales hit, but it gained a small and loyal number of readers. The more conventional strip, "Johnny Nemo", would have its own series, while the stranger "Paradax" had a two-issue series published by Vortex Comics in 1987.
