One of the most prolific writers in the comic's history, Gerry Finley-Day holds a special place in many 2000 AD fans' hearts as the creator of classics like Rogue Trooper, Fiends of the Eastern Front and The V.C.s. A keen "ideas man", Finley-Day's concepts of the horrors future warfare had in store were key to both Rogue and The V.C.s' continuing popularity, ensuring that their recent return to the Galaxy's Greatest Comic was well-received. Finley-Day also scripted episodes of Judge Dredd and Dan Dare, and co-scripted much of Invasion! David Bishop spent the 1990s editing the Judge Dredd Megazine and, latterly, 2000 AD. Since going freelance in the summer of 2000, he has written the Fiends of the Eastern Front: Stalingrad serial for the Megazine and an acclaimed history of 2000 AD's first 30 years called Thrill-Power Overload.
