Garry Leach's early work for 2000 AD included mainly one-off stories featuring Dan Dare and M.A.C.H.
In 1981 he joined Dez Skinn's company, Quality Communications[2] where he worked as art director and was the first artist on Alan Moore's revival of Marvelman in Warrior.
Leach's work on Marvelman remained the prototype, as Davis has insisted that "my ‘style’ on the series was simply a bargain-basement attempt to imitate what Garry had done".
After Atomeka and A1 finished in the mid-1990s, Leach worked mainly in advertising, but returned to comics in the late 1990s as John McCrea's inker on Hitman.
[2] He also drew the first issue of Warren Ellis's series Global Frequency,[2] and designed many of that title's characters.
