Garth Ennis has been writing comics since 1989. Credits include Preacher, The Boys (both adapted for TV), Hitman, and successful runs on The Punisher and Fury for Marvel Comics.

Carlos Ezquerra (1947-2018) was a titan of the comics industry. Originally from Zaragoza, Spain, he began his career as an artist in the early 1970s and is best known as co-creator of Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog. A fan favorite for his distinctive style and dynamic storytelling, he was prolifically published in the UK and was a frequent collaborator with Garth Ennis in the United States on titles like War Stories, Battlefields, and Adventures in the Rifle Brigade. Ezquerra was a recipient of both the Inkpot and National Comics Awards.
