Johnny Nemo is a private detective operating in New London in the year 2921AD. Johnny, who has had a new liver and lungs transplanted rather than give up drinking and smoking, is a violent man in an unbelievably brutal and often insane world.
Although created by two British comic creators, Johnny Nemo originally appeared in the American anthology Strange Days and his own short lived series, both published by Eclipse Comics, before featuring in Deadline. It was effectively a satire on traditional American hard boiled detective fiction.
