Peter Kenneth Hogan (born 5 May 1954) is an English writer and comics creator who started out as editor of cult political British comic Revolver in 1990-91, before working for 2000 AD and American comic book publishers Vertigo and America's Best Comics.
Hogan first worked as commissioning editor for Eel Pie Publishing from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. He managed the Magic Bus Bookstore in Richmond assisted by his then wife, Ruth, until its closure in 1982. His known associates at that time were Dave Marsh and Patrick Humphries, Rock Music journalists. He also was a contributing writer to a biography about The Monkees pop group and a movie/DVD correspondent for Uncut magazine. Hogan is the brother-in-law of noted UK comic artist/typographer/design guru Rian Hughes.
After Revolver folded, Hogan became a scriptwriter for the 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. He also created the 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 2000 AD banner.
