'''Peter K. Hogan''' was editor of [[cult]] political British comics ''[[Crisis (comic)|Crisis]]'' and ''[[Revolver Comic (UK)|Revolver]]'' in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

After ''Revolver'' folded, Hogan became a scriptwriter for the ''[[2000 AD (comic)|2000 AD]]'' comic, working on [[short story]] series ''"Vector 13''" and ''"[[Tharg]]'s Dragon Tales''", as well as reinventing the long-running ''"[[Strontium Dog]]''" series as ''"Strontium Dogs''" and supervising the ''"[[Durham Red]]''" spin-off series. Hogan also had a short stint working on ''"Sam Slade, [[Robo-Hunter]]'', helping to repair some of the damage done to the character's standing after disastrous writing by [[Mark Millar]]". He also created gentle fantasy ''"Timehouse''".

Hogan's writing is noted for a whimsical, fantastic quality that stood out from the more usual hard-edged sci-fi to appear under the 2000AD banner.

However, when [[David Bishop]] took on the editorship of 2000AD, he informed Hogan that he would commission no more of Hogan's scripts. Bishop later described this in the [[Thrill Power Overload]] article series as one of the biggest mistakes of his editorial career. {{fact}}

Hogan went on to write books covering the bands [[R.E.M. (band)|R.E.M]], [[Queen (band)|Queen]] and [[The Doors]].

More recently he has worked with [[Alan Moore]] on Moore's [[America's Best Comics]] series, including his own spin-off title ''[[Terra Obscura]]''.
