Ifirst became aware of Cam Kennedy’s art in the early1980s, when I was co-writing Judge Dredd scripts withJohn Wagner. Cam was working on another 2000 AD

property, a future war story, and we were really impressedwith his clean art, great storytelling, and chunky machinery.As Dredd was the comic’s major character, we always triedto get the top artists working on it, so we asked the alieneditor (The Mighty Tharg) if he could switch Cam toillustrating our scripts. The answer soon came back thatCam wasn’t interested.

That summer we met Cam for the first time at a comicsconvention. We asked him why he’d turned down Dredd,as we thought his art was perfect for Mega-City One andits constant violence. Cam was surprised; it turned out thatTharg was so happy with his work on the other story, hehadn’t bothered to ask if Cam would like a switch. Whenwe asked him, he agreed immediately.

It was the start of a long-lasting and very productivepartnership... and to a deep friendship which still endures.Cam illustrated so many Dredd stories, I can’t evenremember them all, but special mention should be madeof the “Kenny Who?” series. John and I were starting towork for US publishers, and Cam agreed to be artist on TheOutcasts maxi-series. However, we suffered from a severelack of communication from our editor (not an alien thistime). John, Cam and I drew lots, and Cam flew to New Yorkto sort out the problems. On his arrival in the hallowed hallsof our publisher, he bumped into another editor and toldhim who he was. The editor replied “Kenny Who?” and wentabout his business.

When Cam got back to the UK and told us of hisexperience, we just had to come up with a story basedupon it—and so the "Kenny Who?" series was born.

John and I went on to work with Cam, both together andindividually, on dozens of US comics, including TheOutcasts, Batman/Judge Dredd team-up and Lobo:Unamerican Gladiators for DC, Nick Fury Agent ofS.H.I.E.L.D. for Marvel, and John and Cam’s singular takeon the Star Wars characters for Dark Horse. Cam alsoprovided the art for the adaptations of Kidnapped andJekyll and Hyde which I scripted for Waverly Books.

But Cam remains one of the all-time great Judge Dreddartists and (not many people know this) a fantastic cook.Enjoy reading this collection and, if you’re very lucky, Cammight come round your house with one of his superbtomato salads.
