Dogbrain

Bursting onto the pages of the landmark 500th issue of 2000 AD in 1986, Dogbrain is a product of British comics' most gloriously anarchic era, conjured into existence by the legendary Pat Mills and artist Glenn Fabry. A fixture of IPC's irreverent universe across a remarkable sixteen-year run, this character haunts the pages of 2000 AD, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and The Best of 2000 AD Monthly, keeping wild company alongside the likes of Danny Franks, Thrax, Mad Tommy, Kano, and Wallbanger. With two collector-recognized key issues to their name and 26 catalogued appearances, Dogbrain may not be the most prolific figure in the British comics pantheon, but that debut alone — in one of 2000 AD's most celebrated milestone issues — makes them a genuine piece of comics history worth tracking down.
