My editor suggested DeMarco, and after I learned a little more about her, I was in! Originally, I was asked to write a story for a different character, but I inquired if there were any female characters I could write for instead, since this better fits my body of work. HT: I first got connected with Rebellion via the 45 Years of 2000 AD: Anniversary Art Book – I was honored to do a Halo Jones illustration for the book, and was subsequently contacted about doing a story for Mega-City Max! To be honest, I was unfamiliar with Dredd and only had a passing recognition of the characters, but after reading some of the comics, I was instantly hooked. Here, we’re right back to the beginning – that’s the Mega-City Max way!

In 2000 AD, DeMarco, Hershey, and Anderson have a long, long history of highs and lows. She’s there to tackle the sort of cases that the Justice Department can’t or won’t touch, standing up for those desperate citizens of Mega-City One looking for help.īut she’s not in this completely alone, she’s still in touch with two good friends from the Academy, the straight-edged Barbara Hershey and the psychic Cassandra Anderson. She wants to help people and if she can’t do it as a Judge, she’ll do it on her own. In Mega-City Max, a continuity-free new beginning for 2000 AD aimed at teen readers, you’ll meet characters reinvigorated and reimagined, including Devlin Waugh, Walter the Wobot, and Harlem Heroes, plus a brand-new tale of Mega-City madness from Lucie Ebrey, not to mention Hannah Templer’s take on a young DeMarco.Īfter being unfairly expelled from the Academy, DeMarco’s set herself up as a private investigator.
