At 17 Liam was introduced to the legendary Don Lawrence, famous all over Europe for his seminal strip 'Storm.' This led to a one year apprenticeship which in turn opened the doors for him at the 2000ad offices in London.

Over the next few years he drew several Judge Dredd stories, the origin of Finn for Pat Mills, and eventually the ABC Warriors.

Liam's next noteworthy work was for Marvel UK, where he recreated the character that would ultimately prove to be the UK's biggest ever export, and which would bring him fame in the US. Death's Head 2.

Superman and Batman titles for DC comics. Frazetta's Deathdealer and Jaguar God for Verotik. Spawn: the Dark Ages for Todd McFarlane. Realm of the Claw for Stan Winston and Image comics.
