British Invasion (comics)

The British Invasion is a term referring to a group of British writers who rose to prominence in the late 1980s while working on American comic books. The movement was most strongly associated with Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, and Peter Milligan, all writers who had previously worked on the British comic anthology series ''2000 AD'' and who were subsequently recruited by DC Comics. These writers were seen as having a new and different sensibility to their predecessors in American comics.
Characteristics of the British Invasion included a greater sensitivity to language, more mature storylines, and a move away from the superhero genre. The invasion led DC Comics to create the Vertigo imprint to target the mature audiences of these writers. Consequently, DC Comics also abandoned using the Comics Code on their titles.
==History==
Prior to the start of the British Invasion, DC Comics had imported several British artists from the early 1980s to work on their comic books. Brian Bolland was at the vanguard of this influx. Others that followed included Dave Gibbons, Brendan McCarthy, Glenn Fabry, Steve Dillon, and Philip Bond.
The British Invasion itself is often cited as occurring in the wake of Alan Moore's successful run on ''Swamp Thing'' and his ''Watchmen'' series.〔(Please, Sir, I Want Some Moore / How Alan Moore transformed American comics ), by Douglas Wolk in Slate, December, 2003〕 After Moore had a falling-out with DC and swore to never work for them again, DC editor (later Vertigo Group Editor) Karen Berger recruited many promising writers (and artists) from the UK. The names primarily associated with the invasion include Jamie Delano, who was approached by DC as the writer of the Swamp Thing spin off ''Hellblazer''; Neil Gaiman and Dave Mckean, who collaborated on the ''Black Orchid'' limited series, as well as the famous and acclaimed ''Sandman''; Peter Milligan, who launched a new ''Shade, the Changing Man'' series; and Scottish creator Grant Morrison, whose pitch of an ''Animal Man'' series was approved. Later British creators to work on American comics include Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis.
