The backup strips for ''DWW'' were his first regular job in comics and almost the very first things Dillon ever published. Following his six month stint at ''Doctor Who Weekly'', he followed departing ''DWW'' editor [[Dez Skinn]] to the comic anthology, ''Warrior'', and several other projects. At the same time, he enjoyed a run on ''2000 AD'' and ''Judge Dredd''. In the 1990s, he made the move to the American comic industry. He then worked extensively for DC and Vertigo, where he notably had a long run on ''Preacher''. More recently, he has switched over to Marvel, where he has been the main artist on ''Wolverine: Origins'' since its first issue in 2006. | The backup strips for ''DWW'' were his first regular job in comics and almost the very first things Dillon ever published.
