FROM THE DRAWING BOARD: Cam Kennedy
25th April 2018
One of 2000 AD‘s creators who should need no introduction, Cam Kennedy has been the artist on some of the most seminal stories in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, and The VCs.
A huge influence on generations of comic book artists, Kennedy’s work merged the gritty style of war comics with a knack for design that gave his work a dynamic – although grounded – simplicity.
In a fascinating talk recorded at the University of Dundee, the veteran artist discusses his career, work, and process while drawing one of his trademark images of Judge Dredd.

For four decades, 2000 AD has been bringing you the galaxy’s greatest stories from the world’s best creators – its mix of action, humour, satire, and in-your-face storytelling has made it the award-winning, critically-acclaimed, globally-influencing comic it is today. But what goes into creating your weekly Thrills? How do artists go from script to finished page? In FROM THE DRAWING BOARD we meet the artists behind 2000 AD and get to watch them in action as they craft brand new Thrills for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic!
With thanks to the University of Dundee.
