Dillon and Brett Ewins created Deadline magazine together. He went on to work for America's DC Comics, notably collaborating with Garth Ennis on the acclaimed titles Preacher and Hellblazer. His other US work included:

  • Skreemer for DC Comics
  • The Wanderers for DC Comics

Dillon's untimely death (he suffered a ruptured appendix whie visiting New York, and apparently did not seek medical help at the onset of symptoms because he was afraid of incurring huge medical bills) was widely seen as not only the loss of a highly gifted and popular comics artist, but also the passing of a warmhearted, generous man who had been a good friend and always done his utmost to encourage less experienced comics creators.
