More About O'Neill, the comic book illustrator

Kevin O'Neill, who began his career in comics as a teenager and later worked as both an artist and an editor on the early issues of the wildly popular anthology series 2000AD, was a significant influence in British comics for years.




He developed friendships throughout his career and co-created characters like Marshal Law and Nemesis the Warlock. Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2, which Kevin O'Neill adapted from a script by Alan Moore, was one of his first American works.

As a result of the principles it offered, which subsequently manifested as Geoff Johns' Blackest Night storyline, that tale has since grown to be a crucial DC issue. Kevin O’Neill’s contributions to Alan Moore's Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic and Pat Mills' Serial Killer were some of his last published works.

For years, Kevin O’Neill continued collaborating with both Alan Moore and the co-creator of Marshal law, Pat Mills. We send our sympathies to Mr O'Neill's loved ones, friends, colleagues, and admirers during this difficult time.
