IN 2012 John Royle bcame the regular penciller of IDW's various Danger Girl miniseries. He kicked off with the five-issue Danger Girl/G.I. Joe crossover – a great way to celebrate his two decades in the industry, which began in 1992 with a one-off contribution to Fleetway's Red Dwarf Smegazine.

Rapidly moving on to Marvel UK and a run on Knights of Pendragon that took him into 1993,he then embarked on a variety of miniseries – Death's Head II and the Origin of Die Cut and Death Metal among them – before The House of Ideas itself came calling.

Royle worked for Marvel until 1996, his most high profile project being Wolverine: Evilution (a 1994 one-shot that he drew in collaboration with Mark Texeira). Along the way he found time to illustrate a couple of Rai fill-ins for Valiant as well as to work on a number of Malibu's Ultraverse titles, among them Ultraforce, Prime and most notably The Phoenix Resurrection.

His next work was for DC, primarily on 1997 issues of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, but he was only there for a year before outside demands for his talents forced him to retire from comics although only semi-permanently

After a seven-year break he resurfaced at Panini (Marvel UK as was) for which he contributed to multiple issues of Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures over the next seven years. Along the way he also worked on 18 of the first 19 issues of 2004's Marvel Rampage​ and was a major contributor to Stan Lee's Alexa, a 2005 iBooks one-shot.

Then came IDW and Danger Girl.
