Hi, my name is Liam Johnson
I am a highly experienced and critically acclaimed writer of television drama and comic books, passionate about crafting deeply human and emotional stories within the most unique of concepts and worlds; ranging from the quaint Yorkshire Dales to the furthest recesses of space and beyond.
SCREENWRITING
Often praised for my character-led humour, I also have a proven track record for leaving audiences in floods of tears or on the edges of their seats, as seen in my BAFTA nominated work on ITV’s Emmerdale across 80+ episodes.
I have a wealth of experience within a Writers’ Room setting, on both existing shows and those in development, as well as an extensive and highly acclaimed background in Script Editing and Story Research.
COMICS
My writing skills are not confined to television alone, as I also have a thriving comic book career both in the UK and the United States. Contributing extensively to 2000 AD, I've left an indelible mark on the Judge Dredd universe, penning such much-loved characters as Armitage, Judge Anderson, and Judge Dredd himself. Elsewhere, I create original sci-fi and horror tales featuring both existing IP and entirely new properties devised by my and my artistic collaborators. Clients include Oni Press, Boom Studios, Dynamite Comics and more.
