===Early career===
O'Neill began working for the publishing company [[IPC Media|IPC]] at the age of 16 as an office boy for ''[[Buster (comic)|Buster]]'', which was a children's humour title. In 1972 he published two issues of the fanzine ''World of Comics''. In 1975 he started publishing, as a personal side project, the fanzine ''Just Imagine: The Journal of Film and Television Special Effects'' which lasted five regular issues and one special issue through 1978. By 1976 he was working as a colourist on [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] comics reprints and British children's comics such as ''[[Monster Fun]]'' and ''[[Whizzer and Chips]]''. {{citation needed|date=November 2013}}

Tired of working on children's humour titles, he heard that a new science fiction title was being put together at IPC and went to see [[Pat Mills]] and asked to be transferred to the new comic which was to be called ''[[2000 AD (comics)|2000 AD]]''.{{fact|date=November 2022}}
