Lord Ampney Crucis

A creature of the Modern Age born from the imagination of Al Ewing and Simon Fraser, Lord Ampney Crucis made his debut in 2000 AD #1611 in 2008, stepping onto one of British comics' most legendary stages. His own dedicated series, Ampney Crucis Investigates... Vile Bodies, signals a character with genuine depth and staying power — not merely a supporting player but a protagonist with a world worth exploring. Over a publishing run stretching into 2013, he kept remarkable company in the pages of 2000 AD, sharing that iconic anthology space with titans like Judge Dredd, Nikolai Dante, and Bill Savage. If you love British comics at their most inventive and atmospheric, Lord Ampney Crucis is precisely the kind of discovery that reminds you why 2000 AD has always been worth your attention.
