IT TOOK almost five years for Holden to get his career off the ground. Although he began drawing for Fantagraphics in 1995 and for Caliber the following year, his small body of work for the US indie publishers came to an end in 1997. It wasn’t until 1999 that he resurfaced, this time contributing to Violent!, a UK small press comic published in homage to Action, the controversial British boys’ weekly of the mid-1970s – but things really took off for him the following year when he illustrated his first story for 2000 AD [in Prog 1233]. Although Holden drew stories for Black Library’s Warhammer Monthly between 2002 and 2003, since his 2000 AD debut he has been and remains a frequent contributor to the self-styled Galaxy’s Greatest Comic and to Judge Dredd Megazine, its companion title. He also maintains his links with the British small press, occasionally providing covers and the like to such titles as Violent!, Zarjaz and FutureQuake. He returned to the US market in 2007 to pencil Image’s four-issue Fearless. Although the bulk of Holden’s output remains on this side of the Atlantic, he did also illustrate Happy Valley (the first three issues of Dynamite’s 2010 Battlefields series) and a 2011 Dynamite four-parter, Terminator/Robocop: Kill Human. He is also drawing Renegade’s four-issue Monsterology, which he and writer Gordon Rennie are premiering at LFCC Winter 2013.
