Charles Hoy Fort

Named after the real-life American writer who catalogued strange phenomena, Charles Hoy Fort is a 2000 AD character inhabiting a world of the unexplained and paranormal, created for the anthology's millennial 2001st issue.

A fascinating curiosity from the pages of 2000 AD, Charles Hoy Fort made his comics debut in 2000 — a fitting millennial moment for a character bearing the name of history's most famous chronicler of the unexplained. Brought to life by the legendary John Wagner and artist Cam Kennedy for Egmont UK's venerable British anthology, this Modern Age creation shares his strange corner of the universe with the likes of Judge Dredd and the literary ghost of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, which tells you something about the wonderfully weird neighbourhood he inhabits. With only a handful of appearances across 2000–2001, Fort is a rare and intriguing footnote in 2000 AD's rich tapestry — the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes flipping through back issues such a rewarding adventure for devoted collectors.
