In the last decade Horrocks has written and drawn a wide range of projects including scripts for Vertigo's Hunter: The Age of Magic and the Batgirl series, and Atlas, published by Drawn and Quarterly. French, Spanish and Italian editions have since been published. Hicksville was published in book form in 1998, achieving considerable critical success. He also produced Pickle, published by Black Eye Comics, in which the 'Hicksville' story originally appeared. Upon returning to New Zealand in the mid 1990s, Horrocks had a half-page strip called 'Milo's Week' in the current affairs magazine New Zealand Listener from 1995 to 1997. He then moved to the United Kingdom where he self-published several mini-comics and co-founded Le Roquet, a comics annual. Later in the decade he began to get international recognition, having work published by Australia's Fox Comics and the American Fantagraphics Books. Horrocks has been involved in the New Zealand comic scene since the mid 1980s, when he co-founded Razor with Cornelius Stone and had his work published in the University of Auckland student magazine Craccum.
