Nick Landau was the Assistant Editor of 2000AD, though as Kelvin Gosnell, editor of 2000AD was busy with Starlord, Landau actually ran 2000AD.
Following complaints of violence in Inferno, Landau was forced out of his 2000AD job and transferred to Battle[1].
Landau then went on to form the Forbidden Planet chain of shops, Titan Books,Titan Magazines and Titan Merchandise (now all under Titan Entertainment Group).
