Rob Williams is a British comics writer, working mainly for 2000 AD. He is currently writing books for DC Comics and its Vertigo imprint.
Williams started out as a freelance journalist and creator of corporate videos. He decided to try comics writing resulting in Cla$$war, published by Com.x and illustrated by several artists, including Trevor Hairsine and Travel Foreman. Publishing began in 2002 and, after a three-year hiatus from the publisher a complete collection was released in 2009.
The comic series was read by Andy Diggle, who was the editor of 2000 AD at the time and contacted Williams, resulting in a number of series, first the two-part Asylum, with Boo Cook and then ongoing Low Life, initially with Henry Flint. and he would also produce one-offs there like Breathing Space with Laurence Campbell.
He would again team up with Campbell for the 2006 Wolverine Christmas Special and later a PunisherMAX one-shot. Williams would then go on to get other work for Marvel Comics, including a story in the Dark X-Men: The Beginning anthology, a Captain Britain story in Deadpool Team Up and a Ghost Rider one-shot that ties into the Daredevil storyline Shadowland. He returned to Ghost Rider with a new eponymous ongoing series, launched as part of the "Fear Itself" storyline, for which he also wrote the Uncanny X-Force mini-series. Other Marvel comics announced around the same time include The Iron Age metaseries,Skaar: King of the Savage Land limited series, and takes over the writing of the Daken: Dark Wolverine ongoing series. Following that slew of announcements, on 22 April 2011 he announced that he had signed an exclusive contract with Marvel.
