Who is Kano?

CREATION Kano was created by Peter Milligan , Brett Ewins and Jim McCarthy. He first appeared in 2000AD prog 500. Bad Company was originally to be written by Alan Grant and John Wagner , with art by Cam Kennedy , but their version was not considered original enough and hewed too closely to another 2000AD character, Rogue Trooper . Milligan and Ewins eventually took the idea and ran with it. Bad Company went on to be one of the most loved strips in 2000AD history, though many fans believe the last two story arcs, Kano and Bad Company 2002 to be of poor quality compared with the first two arcs and are therefore mostly dismissed as being non-canon. ORIGIN Kano was a soldier. On Ararat, a far and distant frontline, Earths’ forces desperately held the last line in a war with the alien race, Krool. It was here where Kano fought, a hard soldier, desperate to maintain a sense of humanity in the face of the Krools’ depravity and violence.
