---Here’s Johnny enters the surreal world of renowned graphic artist Johnny Hicklenton, who is battling against Multiple Sclerosis. Living in an increasing state of immobility and frustration, Johnny escapes the confines of his frontroom through his artwork.
Through the expression of his brilliant and sometimes troubled imagination we learn about the disease that he cannot escape from.
---Launched at the Science Museum on January 30th 2008, and premiering at South by South West film festival in March 2008, Here's Johnny went on to win two prestigious Grierson Awards in November 2008. Winning both the 'Best Arts Documentary' and 'Best Newcomer' awards, Here's Johnny is the first film ever to win two awards in the Griersons' 36 year history.

More background---
Johnny Hicklenton, best known for his work on "Nemesis the Warlock" in 2000AD, died on Friday, 19 March, aged 43.John Stuart Hicklenton was born in Surrey on 8 May 1967, the son of John George H. Hicklenton and his wife Patricia J. (nee Sanderson). Raised in Kent, Hicklenton recalled in an interview that he was "quite good at art and not much good at any other subject." His inspirations included the comic strip "Flesh" in early issues of 2000AD, which led him to draw obsessively "every day for 8 hours a day. I lived for it."
Hannah Smith, a fellow student at college, spotted a doodle Hicklenton had drawn of Judge Dredd and told him "my dad draws that!" To capitalize on this potential contact, he deliberately painted her a Christmas card featuring Judge Dredd and it attracted the attention of her father, Ron Smith, who was Dredd's most prolific artist in 2000AD at the time.
