He first got his break at 2000 AD in 1993 on a Judge Dredd story written by Garth Ennis.

Haward was also the artist on Classical Comics' adaptations of Shakespeare's Macbeth and The Tempest, moved into the role of art direction for the Hamlet adaptation, providing character designs and rough page outlines for artist David Lorenzo to work with.
