John Smith is a British comics writer best known for his work on "2000 AD" and "Crisis". His work is characterised by intricate, sometimes obscure plots and an interest in taboos and the occult. This is told in an elliptic, fractured narrative style reminiscent of Iain Sinclair or the cut-up technique of William S. Burroughs. Other notable influences include Michael Moorcock, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Alan Moore and Noel Coward. Wikipedia
