Middenface McNulty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Archibald "Middenface" McNulty is a fictional character from the 2000 AD series Strontium Dog. He is a frequent companion of the series' star, Johnny Alpha.
McNulty grew up in the Scottish mutant ghetto called Shytehill (evidently a reference to Sighthill). His mutation is purely cosmetic-- his skull is covered with knobby bumps-- but like all the members of the Search/Destroy agency he is a seasoned guerrilla fighter. He has had experience in fighting for his life, leading attacks, and defending himself and others against fanatical hatred and violence since the age of ten.

[edit] Publication
As we as appearances in Strontium Dog and Young Middenface he has also appeared in his own eponymous series:
- Middenface McNulty (by Alan Grant):
- "Wan Man an' His Dug" (with co-writer Tony Luke and artist John McCrea, in Judge Dredd Megazine vol.1 #15-20, 1991-1992)
- "A Scottish Sojer" (with Shaun Thomas, in Judge Dredd Megazine #240-243, 2006)
[edit] Trivia
- A midden is a waste pit. The term is still used in Scotland and (as the Wikipedia entry says) "has come by extension, to refer to anything that is a mess, including people." This reflects McNulty's rather nobbly and unattractive face.
