John Freeman (editor)

John Freeman (born 18 January 1960) is a British writer/editor/designer known for his work with Marvel UK, and on Doctor Who Magazine and The Really Heavy Greatcoat.

While working for Marvel UK between 1988 and 1993, Freeman designed and then edited Doctor Who Magazine,[2] and comics titles such as Death's Head II,[3] Warheads,[4] Overkill,[5] and others.

The first of these, Death's Head II, written by Dan Abnett and initially drawn by Liam Sharp, was a recreation of Simon Furman's cyborg bounty hunter (who first appeared in the Transformers comic).

He also wrote Shadow Riders, with Brian Williamson, and Gene Dogs, drawn by Dave Taylor, and the mini-series G-Force (not to be confused with the animated series), as well as several Doctor Who comic stories.

Apart from his Marvel UK work, Freeman's comic writing credits include Dan Dare for Spaceship Away, Ex Astris, The Really Heavy Greatcoat, The Science Service, The Real Ghostbusters, Galaxy Rangers, ThunderCats, Beyblade, Judge Dredd Megazine, and others.
