- Pat Mills, #1–16 (1977)
- Kelvin Gosnell, #17–85 (1977–1978)
- Steve MacManus, #86–519 (1978–1987)
- Richard Burton, #520–872 (1987–1994)
- Alan McKenzie, #873–914 (1994)
- John Tomlinson, #915–977 (1994–1996)
- David Bishop, #978–1199 (1996–2000)
- Andy Diggle, #1200–1273 (2000–2002)
- Matt Smith, #1274–present (2002–present)
(Assistant editor Nick Landau largely edited the comic himself in 1978 while Kelvin Gosnell was occupied with editing new sister title Starlord.)

Famous quotes containing the word editors:
“The editors are committed to nothing save this: to keep common sense as fast as they can, to belabor sham as agreeably as possible, to give civilized entertainment.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Narrowed-down by her early editors and anthologists, reduced to quaintness or spinsterish oddity by many of her commentators, sentimentalized, fallen-in-love with like some gnomic Garbo, still unread in the breadth and depth of her full range of work, she was, and is, a wonder to me when I try to imagine myself into that mind.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The trenchant editorials plus the keen rivalry natural to extremely partisan papers made it necessary for the editors to be expert pugilists and duelists as well as journalists. An editor made no assertion that he could not defend with fists or firearms.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
