Spikes Harvey Rotten

Spikes Harvey Rotten burst onto the pages of 2000 AD back in 1977 — right at the dawn of that legendary British weekly's run — making him a genuine Bronze Age original from the era that reshaped comics on both sides of the Atlantic. Created by John Wagner and Bill Ward, this IPC-published character has proven surprisingly durable, with appearances stretching across four decades and into the Judge Dredd Megazine and the Complete Case Files collections that every serious 2000 AD devotee hunts down. He shares his anarchic world with none other than Judge Dredd himself, alongside the likes of Tweak and Walter the Wobot, placing him squarely in the wild, satirical heart of Mega-City One's earliest and most beloved stories. With a key issue already to his name and 32 catalogued appearances, Spikes Harvey Rotten is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards fans who dig past the obvious — a true piece of 2000 AD history.
