Biography

Googe's early comics work include a Shotgun Mary mini-series and work on 2000 AD, including a number of Judge Dredd stories.

He was one of the co-founders of the British independent comic publisher Com.x in 2000, where he wrote and drew Bazooka Jules and although only three issues were published Googe says he still has ideas for many more. However, he has had steady work in the American comic book market since and the opportunity has never arisen.^[1]

In the American market he is known for his work on Welcome to Tranquility with Gail Simone for Wildstorm^[2] where he'd previously worked on Majestic.^[1]

His current work is with Christos Gage on Wildcats: World's End.^[3]
