Big D

Big D is a character from the satirical 2000 AD universe, appearing in the Banzai Battalion stories alongside the likes of Judge Dredd and Captain Bug Stomper — suggesting an anarchic, action-packed military or sci-fi comedic context.

Emerging from the gritty, satirical universe of 2000 AD in 1999, Big D is a creation of the legendary John Wagner and artist Henry Flint — a pedigree that signals serious Brit-comics craft from the outset. This Copper/Modern Age character carved out a niche across nearly two decades, appearing in the pages of 2000 AD and the Banzai Battalion stories, keeping wild company alongside Judge Dredd, Captain Bug Stomper, and a colourful cast of characters that hints at the anarchic, action-packed tone Wagner and Flint brought to the table. With only 11 catalogued appearances, Big D is a cult curio rather than a household name — exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through 2000 AD's rich back catalogue such a rewarding adventure for the dedicated collector.
