'''Peter Milligan''' (born 24 June 1961<ref name=Root>{{cite book|last1=Root|first1=Tom|last2=Kardon|first2=Andrew|title=Writers on comics scriptwriting 2|date=2004|publisher=Titan|location=London|isbn=1840238089|page=157}}</ref>) is a British [[comic book writer]] who has written extensively for both British and American comic book industries. In the UK, Milligan has contributed to numerous anthology titles including ''[[2000 AD (comics)|2000 AD]]'', ''[[Revolver (Fleetway comics)|Revolver]]'', ''[[Eagle (British comics)|Eagle]]'' and ''[[A1 (comics)|A1]]'', and helped launch the magazine ''[[Deadline (magazine)|Deadline]]''. In the US, he is best known for his frequent contributions to [[DC Comics]]' [[Vertigo (DC Comics)|Vertigo]] imprint, which include the revamped DC properties ''[[Shade, the Changing Man (Vertigo)|Shade, the Changing Man]]'' and ''[[Human Target (Vertigo)|Human Target]]'', a four-year run on the imprint's premier title ''[[Hellblazer]]'', and original series ''[[Enigma (Vertigo)|Enigma]]'', ''[[The Extremist (comics)|The Extremist]]'', ''[[Egypt (comics)|Egypt]]'' and ''[[Greek Street (comics)|Greek Street]]'', as well as the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] series ''[[X-Statix]]'', co-created by Milligan and artist [[Mike Allred]].

==Career==
Milligan started his comic career with [[Sounds (magazine)|''Sounds'' music paper's]] [[comic strip]] ''The Electric Hoax'', with [[Brendan McCarthy]], with whom he went to art school.<ref name=Wolk/> Milligan later moved to write short stories for ''[[2000&nbsp;AD (comics)|2000 AD]]'' in the early 1980s. By 1986, Milligan had his first ongoing strip in ''2000AD'' called "[[Bad Company (comics)|Bad Company]]", with artists [[Brett Ewins]] and [[Jim McCarthy (comics)|Jim McCarthy]]. "Bad Company" was a popular future war story and helped Milligan become better known.

Concurrently, Milligan, Ewins and Brendan McCarthy had been working on the [[comics anthology|anthology]] title, ''[[Strange Days (comics)|Strange Days]]'' for [[Eclipse Comics]]. ''Strange Days'' featured three strips, "[[Paradax]]", "[[Freakwave (comics)|Freakwave]]", and "[[Johnny Nemo]]". Milligan, McCarthy and Ewins produced three issues of this [[Psychedelic art|psychedelic]] comic, it was not a great seller but it picked up a small, loyal readership. The most conventional strip, "Johnny Nemo", had its own series, while the more quirky "Paradax" had a two-issue series published by [[Vortex Comics]] in 1987.<ref name="GCD">{{gcdb|type=writer|search= Peter+Milligan|title= Peter Milligan}}</ref>

By 1989 Milligan was swapping between strips such as "Bad Company", while still writing material in ''2000AD'', such as "[[Hewligan's Haircut]]" with artist [[Jamie Hewlett]]. Milligan and artist Jim McCarthy created the Steve Ditko-inspired "[[Bix Barton]]". This was first run as a black and white strip for its first outing, "Barton's Beasts"; the second strip was called "Carry On Barton" (originally "Carry On Snuffing"). The strip was very popular and was a precursor of "Devlin Waugh" and others.

In 1989 he had his first work published by [[DC Comics]].<ref name="GCD" /> ''[[Skreemer]]'' was a six-issue mini-series (May 1989 – October 1989) drawn by Brett Ewins that was somewhat lost in the midst of the so-called "British Invasion" of American comics of the time. A dark [[post-apocalyptic]] [[gangster]] story, it did receive critical acclaim but did not sell well. Milligan was soon to become a regular writer for DC while still working on his more personal comics in the United Kingdom in comics such as ''2000 AD'', and its spin-off titles ''[[Crisis (comic)|Crisis]]'' and ''[[Revolver Comic (UK)|Revolver]]''.

The 1990s saw Milligan revamp [[Steve Ditko]]'s character ''[[Shade, the Changing Man (Vertigo)|Shade, the Changing Man]]'' for [[DC Comics]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Manning|first1= Matthew K.|last2=Dolan|first2=Hannah, ed.|chapter= 1990s|title = DC Comics Year By Year A Visual Chronicle|publisher=[[Dorling Kindersley]]|year=2010|location= London, United Kingdom|isbn= 978-0-7566-6742-9|page= 246|quote = Writer Peter Milligan, alongside artist Chris Bachalo and psychedelic cover artist Brendan McCarthy breathed new life into the bizarre world of Shade, the Changing Man, reimagining the obscure Steve Ditko character for a brave new world.}}</ref> This proved his most successful American comic, and came at the end of the first wave of the "[[British Invasion (comics)|British Invasion]]". With issue No. 33 (March 1993), it became part of the [[Vertigo (DC Comics)|Vertigo]] imprint.<ref>Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 262</ref> It was cancelled with issue No. 70 (April 1996). A one-off story marking Vertigo's tenth anniversary was published in 2003.<ref name="GCD" />

Milligan succeeded [[Grant Morrison]] on ''[[Animal Man (comic book)|Animal Man]]'' for a six-issue run in 1990–1991,<ref name="vert-ency">{{Citation|last = Irvine|first = Alex|author-link = Alexander C.

During an editorial meeting, Milligan presented the idea that led to the creation of [[Azrael (comics)|Azrael]], who became Batman during the "[[Batman: Knightfall|Knightfall]]" crossover.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://knightfallsaga.angelfire.com/denny.htm|title= An Interview with Dennis O'Neil|first= Jek|last= Tezak|date= n.d.|publisher= Knightfallsaga|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120425073034/http://knightfallsaga.angelfire.com/denny.htm|archive-date= 25 April 2012|url-status= live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

''[[Skin (graphic novel)|Skin]]'' (art by Brendan McCarthy) was the story of a young [[thalidomide]] [[skinhead]] in 1970s London, and his attempts to deal with his disability and the world in general.<ref name=Wolk>{{cite news |last1=Wolk |first1=Douglas |title=Comics review: 'The Best of Milligan & McCarthy' |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/comics-review-the-best-of-milligan-and-mccarthy/2013/11/05/84f6574c-4327-11e3-a751-f032898f2dbc_story.html |access-date=11 December 2019 |newspaper=Washington Post |date=5 November 2013}}</ref> The strip was due to feature in ''[[Crisis (comic)|Crisis]]'' in 1990 but the publishers [[Fleetway]] were worried by the controversial subject matter, plus they were concerned with the use of explicit language in the story. The printers refused to print it, blaming the graphic language and controversial subject matter as a reason.<ref>{{cite journal|editor-last=MacManus |editor-first=Steve |editor-link=Steve MacManus |date=11 November 1989 |title=Intro |journal=Crisis |issue=31 |issn=0955-6885 |oclc=263491671}}</ref> The story remained in limbo until eventually being published as a [[graphic novel]] by [[Tundra Press]] to little controversy.

Milligan and artist [[Duncan Fegredo]] created ''[[Enigma (Vertigo)|Enigma]]'' for [[Disney Comics (publishing)|Disney Comics]]' planned Touchmark imprint. When the Touchmark line was cancelled, the project moved to DC's newly launched Vertigo line in 1993.<ref>{{cite journal|last = Boney|first = Alex|title = From Such Great Heights: The Birth of Vertigo Comics|journal = [[Back Issue!]]|issue = 57|pages = 68–69|publisher = [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]|date = July 2012|location= Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref><ref>Irvine "Enigma" in Dougall, p. 66</ref> Milligan quickly followed this up with ''[[The Extremist (comics)|The Extremist]]'' with artist [[Ted McKeever]].<ref>Irvine "The Extremist" in Dougall, p. 71</ref> Both titles dealt with taboo subjects for a mainstream publisher, but were applauded for their handling of these subjects.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/02/18/comics-you-should-own-enigma/|title= Comics You Should Own – ''Enigma''|first= Greg|last= Burgas|date= 18 February 2007|website= [[Comic Book Resources]]|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121018205123/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/02/18/comics-you-should-own-enigma/|archive-date= 18 October 2012|url-status= live|df=dmy-all|access-date= 2 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/04/09/comics-you-should-own-the-extremist/|title= Comics You Should Own – ''The Extremist''|first= Greg|last= Burgas|date= 9 April 2007|website= Comic Book Resources|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121025175612/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/04/09/comics-you-should-own-the-extremist|archive-date= 25 October 2012|url-status= live|df=dmy-all|access-date= 2 November 2013}}</ref>

Milligan and artist [[Mike Deodato]] launched the ''[[Elektra (comics)|Elektra]]'' series for [[Marvel Comics]] in November 1996.<ref>{{cite book|last1 = Manning|first1 = Matthew K.|last2= Gilbert|first2= Laura, ed.|chapter= 1990s|title = Marvel Chronicle A Year by Year History|publisher = [[Dorling Kindersley]]|year = 2008|location= London, United Kingdom|page = 280|isbn =978-0756641238|quote= Finally given her own ongoing series by writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Deodato, Elektra found a new use for her grace and skill after defeating a group of ninjas.}}</ref> Milligan spent the remainder of the decade writing one-off specials such as ''[[Face (comics)|Face]]'' and ''The Eaters'', or miniseries like ''[[Egypt (comics)|Egypt]]'' and ''[[Tank Girl]]'' The Odyssey (with its co-creator [[Jamie Hewlett]] providing art), as well as acting as advisory editor to [[Paul Honeyford]]'s ''[[Fighting Figurines]]''. Milligan and Brendan McCarthy's psychedelic comic ''[[Rogan Gosh (comics)|Rogan Gosh]]'' was reprinted in a collected edition by Vertigo in 1996,<ref name="GCD" /> after being first serialised six years earlier in ''[[Revolver Comic (UK)|Revolver]]''.

Milligan rounded out the decade by writing a ''[[Human Target (Vertigo)|The Human Target]]'' four-issue miniseries (April 1999 – July 1999).<ref name="vert-huma">Irvine "Human Target" in Dougall, pp. 90–91</ref>

Milligan's film work includes the screenplay for ''[[Pilgrim (film)|Pilgrim]]'' (2000, also known as ''Inferno''), starring [[Ray Liotta]]. He scripted the 2002 adaptation of the [[Melvin Burgess]] novel ''[[An Angel for May]]''.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/277244/Peter-Milligan/filmography|title= Peter Milligan Filmography|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131102031023/http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/277244/Peter-Milligan/filmography|archive-date= 2 November 2013|url-status= dead|df=dmy-all|department= Movies & TV Dept.|work= [[The New York Times]]|date= 2013|access-date= 2 November 2013}}</ref>

In 2001, Marvel Comics' new editor-in-chief [[Joe Quesada]] began revamping the [[X-Men]] family of titles. Milligan and artist [[Mike Allred]] took over ''[[X-Force]]'' with issue No. 116 (July 2001),<ref>Manning "2000s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 306: "''X-Force'', an X-Men spinoff, received a makeover in July [2001] thanks to writer Peter Milligan and artist Mike Allred.

''X-Force'' was cancelled with issue No. 129 (August 2002), and replaced by a new title, ''[[X-Statix]]'', with Milligan and Allred continuing as the creative force.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/sept02/pmilligan.shtml|title= ''Skreemer'' to ''X-Statix'': Peter Milligan|first= Marissa|last= Guidara|date= September 2002|publisher= Sequentialtart.com|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Milligan proposed a character based on a resurrected [[Princess Diana]]. News spread to the British [[tabloid newspaper]] ''[[The Daily Mail]]'', which strongly objected.
