After Revolver folded, Hogan became a scriptwriter for 2000 AD comic, working on short story series Vector 13 and Tharg's Dragon Tales, as well as reinventing the long-running Strontium Dog series as Strontium Dogs and supervising the Durham Red spin-off series. Hogan also had a short stint working on Sam Slade, Robo-Hunter, helping to repair some of the damage done to the character's standing after disastrous writing by Mark Millar. He also created gentle fantasy Timehouse.

Hogan's writing is noted for a whimsical, fantastic quality that stood out from the more usual hard-edged sci-fi to appear under the 2000AD banner.

However, when David Bishop took on the editorship of 2000AD, he informed Hogan that he would commission no more of Hogan's scripts. Bishop later described this in the Thrill Power Overload article series as one of the biggest mistakes of his editorial career.
