Comic Book Author. Best known for his work on a number of Batman, Lobo, and Judge Dredd comic issues over a span of thirty years. At the onset of his career, he wrote for the British Sci-Fi anthology series, 2000 AD, where he was responsible for the creation of foundational stories for characters such as the dystopian law enforcer, Judge Joseph Dredd and his professional partner John Wagner's Robo-Hunter. In 1988, he and Wagner departed 2000 AD to begin writing for the American publisher, DC Comics. Following Wagner's departure as co-writer for the new Batman releases in Detective Comics, Grant was left as the primary creative power over the run for the next decade. In the early 1990's he and fellow writer, Keith Giffen gave life to the Czarnian bounty hunter, Lobo, a character which would eventually feature in multiple DC titles and animated series. Other contemporary works from this time include his stories for the surreal fan favorite, "Tank Girl." Over the next several years, he was responsible for the genesis of not only several seminal storylines involving noted superheroes, but also the creation of numerous supervillains such as Ratcatcher, The Ventriloquist, Anarky, Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, and Victor Zsaz, all noted characters of Batman's rogues gallery. During his work at the DC competitor Marvel Comics, Grant wrote for a number of Jack Kirby/Stan Lee titles including the "Incredible Hulk," "Silver Surfer," and "Nick Fury." By the dawn of the 21st century, Grant had composed works for nearly all major American comic publishers, cementing his status as a legend in the industry. In addition to his own work, Grant is often credited with helping to kickstart the career of a then unknown Alan Moore, when he pulled one of Moore's early scripts from 2000 AD's unsolicited submissions folder. Moore would go on to create the noted series, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and Batman: The Killing Joke. In recognition of his services to the profession, Grant was named a recipient of the Comicon International Inkpot Award for the year 1992.
