Leeds-based John Allison is the creator of, among others, print comic series Giant Days, Bad Machinery and Steeple. In addition, he created the webcomics Bobbins and Scary Go Round, with his work appearing online since 1998.

Steeple was serialised as a Webtoon Original in 2026.

John's comics have been nominated for multiple Eisner Awards (winning twice in 2019), and in 2018 he won the Best Long-Form Online Comic award from the US National Cartoonists’ Society. His stories have been translated around the world, with Giant Days published in ten foreign language editions.
