Roger Gibson began drawing comic strips for X-AP in the mid 1980s, forming his own APA - Early Spring - soon afterwards. After deciding to retire from comics, Roger turned to writing - producing a novel adaptation of Gravestown (an earlier comic) and a science fiction thriller called Loop.

Vince Danks' early career began with Redfox by Chris Bell and Fox for Valkyrie Press. From there, he worked on Dr Who Monthly, the Red Dwarf Smegazine and for Marvel UK. In 1997 he set up Ariel Press to publish Sapphire, a paranormal espionage story.

Having previously worked together on Sapphire, Harker was born of Vince & Roger's mutual desire to create a comic that felt 'like a good Saturday night's TV'.
