P. J. Holden (Paul Jason Holden, born 28 December 1969) is a Northern Irish comic artist based in Belfast. His first professional work appeared in 1995 -- the Fantagraphics-published Holy Cross with writer Malachy Coney, followed by the graphic novel The Moon Looked Down and Laughed -- before he became a mainstay of British weekly 2000 AD from 2001 onward, drawing extensively for Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and Judge Dredd Megazine, as well as Warhammer Monthly. Over a career spanning more than two decades in UK comics, he has built a reputation for range, moving comfortably between grim dystopian science fiction, war stories and broad comedy. In this catalogue he appears as one of the illustration team, alongside Matt Soffe, Rob Jones and Pye Parr, credited on Derek Landy's Bad Magic (2023), the Skulduggery Pleasant series' first graphic novel -- a natural fit given his long track record on British genre comics for the audience Landy's series already draws.
