Information About

Cam Kennedy




In 1978 he was lured back to comics work again, beginning by drawing the '' Fighting Mann '' strip for Fleetway Publications' '' Battle '' comic. As ''Battle'' began to wind down, Kennedy moved across to its stablemate, the weekly sci-fi Anthology comic '' 2000 AD ''.

Working during the title's "Golden Era", Kennedy was instrumental in the creation of several well-known strips that continue to this day, including '', Kennedy designed and produced a brand new strip, ''Zancudo'', written by Simon Spurrier for the '' Judge Dredd Megazine '', and Wagner has written three stories about character Kenny Who? , an alter-ego for Kennedy, based on Kennedy's early problems getting work at American companies (as well as making jokes on issues like creator's rights and censorship).

In America, Kennedy established a profitable working relationship with writer Tom Veitch , producing the Creator-owned Vietnam War -inspired science fiction fantasy '' The Light And Darkness War '' for Marvel Comics ' Epic imprint. This led to the pair working on a Star Wars spin-off, '' Dark Empire '', for Dark Horse Comics . Kennedy has worked on other Star Wars licensed comics, including Boba Fett stories with writer John Wagner. For DC Comics Kennedy has worked on '' Lobo '', '' Batman '', '' Outcasts '' and '' The Spectre ''. For Marvel, he has illustrated the '' Punisher '', '' Daredevil '' and '' Nick Fury , Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. ''

As part of the UNESCO City Of Literature in 2007 he has drawn '' Kidnapped '', an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson 's '' Kidnapped '', written by Alan Grant , published by Waverley Books. Some of the art for this has been bought for the collections of the National Library Of Scotland . {Link without Title}
