Rebellion is delighted to announce three FREE comics workshops for kids in London, Glasgow, and Dundee this Free Comic Book Day 2019!
Free Comic Book Day on 4th May aims to encourage new readers to visit their local comic book store and Rebellion has a host of titles supporting this global celebration of comics!
To mark the release of its ‘Funny Pages’ and ‘Cor!! & Buster Special’ titles, 2000 AD and Dundee Comic Creative Space are taking over the studio at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and the Vision building on Dundee waterfront with special workshop events on 4th May.
Both running from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Saturday 4th May, the workshops will give kids of all ages the chance to have a go at creating their own comics based on characters from the legendary titles Cor!! and Buster!
In London, ‘Cor!! & Buster Special’ writer Ned Hartley will also be running a comics workshop for kids at Gosh! Comics on Berwick Street from 10am to 11am.
And to celebrate the release of the ‘2000 AD Villains Takeover Special’, on the same day at Forbidden Planet Megastore on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, three of the creators – Greg Staples, Matt Smith, and Pye Parr – will be signing from 1pm to 2pm.
Phillip Vaughan, Art Director at Dundee Comics Creative Space, said: “We are delighted to support Free Comic Book Day this year, and we are looking forward to facilitating both events in Glasgow and Dundee! Please come along to one of the free events, sharpen your pencils and get creative with the characters from Cor!! and Buster!”
Martin Craig, curator at Glasgow Museums, said: “After the success of the Frank Quitely exhibition in 2017 which featured work from 2000 AD, Glasgow Museums are excited to support another brilliant comic book event in partnership with 2000 AD and the Dundee Comic Creative Space. GoMA’s exhibition, Mark-making: Perspectives on Drawing, which explores how diverse drawing can be is the perfect partner for this event that celebrates the art of drawing in comics. Come explore, create and take away brilliant comics, it is FREE Comic Book Day after all.”
Hitting newsagents and comic book stores on 17th April, the ‘Cor!! & Buster Humour Special’ is packed full of all-ages fun, featuring some of the greatest all-time British comic characters in all-new stories in an outrageously funny special edition!
On the same theme, Rebellion’s title for Free Comic Book Day on 4th May is ‘Funny Pages’, a riotous revisit of classic comic book comedy characters from the heyday of the 1970s and ‘80s! Copies are only available from participating stores, so make sure you get there early to bag your copy!
And to support Free Comic Book Day, 2000 AD’s ‘Villains Takeover Special’ is out on 1st May for the low price of just 99p/99c. The baddies take over the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic with a nefarious new special full of criminal capers and villainous ventures, an ideal shelf-stuffer to tempt roguish readers into the world of 2000 AD!
This fortnight’s episode begins on an incredibly sad note, as we say goodbye to Carlos Ezquerra. The next episode of the Thrill-Cast will be dedicated to him and his legacy.
One of the highlights of the droids’ year, the Thought Bubble convention in Leeds is a celebration of the comic book medium and an ideal opportunity for 2000 AD to engage with readers old and new.
This year, host Molch-R welcomed droids Guy Adams (Hope), Lizzie Boyle (Scream! & Misty Special), Laura Bailey (Demarco P.I.), Paul Williams (Future Shocks), and Leah Moore & John Reppion (Storm Warning) to the 2000 AD panels to discuss what’s in store for readers, their creative processes, and creating new characters for 2000 AD, as well as some announcements about forthcoming Thrills!
Plus, every year 2000 AD gives new writers and artists the chance to get their first work for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Prospective art droids have their work scrutinsed while would-be writers must pitch their own original Future Shock in just two minutes! They’re not for the faint of heart but the competitions have launched the professional careers of some of the newest talent to grace the pages of 2000 AD.
This year, the script competition – judge by former script competition winners Laura Bailey (Demaro P.I.) and Rory McConville (Devlin Waugh) with 2000 AD editor Matt Smith and Rob Williams (Judge Dredd) – got through 12 separate entries, ranging from the wicked to the sublime! There was advice aplenty, as the judges sifted through the entries and chose their favourite. Listen as would-be writers pitch their ideas and discover who this year’s winner was!

This year, the script competition – judge by former script competition winners Laura Bailey (Demaro P.I.) and Rory McConville (Devlin Waugh) with 2000 AD editor Matt Smith and Rob Williams (Judge Dredd) – got through 12 separate entries, ranging from the wicked to the sublime! There was advice aplenty, as the judges sifted through the entries and chose their favourite.
The winner was Billy Peery with his entry ‘They Shoot Monsters, Don’t They?‘. Billy will now work with Matt Smith to turn his winning entry into a publishable script, ready to be drawn by the winner of this year’s art competition…
…who was Tony Allcock! Tony trimumphed after judges DaNi (Demarco P.I.), Tom Foster (Storm Warning) and Laurence Campbell (Judge Dredd) decided his pages showed the most promise and he was fit to join the legions of 2000 AD‘s art droids. This year’s competition attracted more entries than ever before, with every shade of potential droid from fresh-faced graduates to returning entrants.
These are the two pages from Tony’s entry and we’ve included the other entrants below – see if you agree with the judges’ verdicts!
Dun dun duuuuuuuun – it’s back! The Scream! & Misty Special returns for a second outing of old school ghouls and we’ve got another scream-a-riffic signing to go with it!
Scary Simon Coleby, Grisly Guy Adams, Lycanthropic Lizzie Boyle, Jeepers John Stokes and Kreepers Kek-W will all be at Gosh Comics in London from 1-2 pm on Saturday October 27th to put their spooky scribbles on your copies of the magazine! (They’re all lovely really).
In the annals of British comics, the titles Scream! and Misty have an evocative pull for those who were reading in the late ’70s and early ’80s. While neither had a particularly long run (a respectable 101 for Misty, a mere 15 for Scream!), both cast very long shadows indeed, and were probably many a young reader’s first exposure to horror.
The 2018 Scream & Misty Special features more treats than tricks, including the further misdemeanors of Max the Computer in The Thirteenth Floor, ghoulish goings on with the undead WW1 pilot Black Max, zombie and vampire DNA combine to create a brand new horror sensation called Decomposition Jones plus a tomb full of other tales from the realms of the Mist!
So come along and meet the ghoulish gang, and get yourself a signed copy of this year’s creepiest comic! If you can’t make it and would like a signed copy, drop an email to info@goshlondon.com to arrange a reservation or mail order.
A stalwart of British comics from the 1970s, Arthur worked on licensed properties for Look-In before moving to 2000 AD in the 1980s and quickly establishing himself as one of the seminal artists on Judge Anderson’s solo adventures.
His meticulously detailed style brought atmosphere and depth to his work, whether it was adding verve to adaptations of TV classics such as Sapphire & Steel or rendering the gritty streets of Mega-City One in Judge Dredd.
In the 1990s, he co-created the noir crime thriller Button Man with John Wagner and the fantastical Mazeworld with Alan Grant, while drawing some of the most pivotal and moving moments in Judge Anderson’s life.
He has since retired, but collections of his work have brought on re-evaluations of his work for new generations of comics fans, drawn to the rich detail and extraordinary influences of his work.
The weather might be getting cooler but things are hotting up in preparation for Thought Bubble 2018!
2000 AD will once again be travelling to the mighty city of Leeds for this annual convention celebrating the best in comic books and the visual arts.

Come along and see which of the portfolio review entries from Saturday wins paid work with 2000 AD as Tharg’s art droids provide live critique on the best of the comics submitted! It’s not for the faint of heart, but the winner stands to win the ultimate prize in comics!!
Every year, 2000 AD gives new writers and artists the chance to get their first work for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic at the annual Thought Bubble convention in Leeds.
Put before a panel of top creators, prospective art droids have their work scrutinsed while would-be writers must pitch their own original Future Shock in just two minutes! They’re not for the faint of heart but the competitions have launched the professional careers of some of the newest talent to grace the pages of 2000 AD!
Writer Laura Bailey won the contest, at the second time of trying, in 2017, and her first Future Shock, ‘Sunday Scientist’, appeared in Prog 2072, with art from 2017’s winning artist, Paul Williams.
Since then, she’s gone on to write a Terror Tale and a DeMarco P.I. story in the 2018 Sci-Fi Special and has a new DeMarco storyline coming up in a future Megazine.
Richard Bruton caught up with this rising star to talk about Thought Bubble, the terror of pitching live, and what winning has meant to her.
What did winning 2017’s 2000 AD & Thought Bubble writing talent contest mean to you?
Winning the contest was probably the most extreme amount of positive emotions I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s something I wanted so badly but in my heart of hearts thought it wasn’t going to happen. Even as the contest was unfolding, I sent out texts to my family saying it was a no go – I thought Tharg wasn’t into the story. Bearing in mind this was the second time I entered, I was doubly bummed out, and so to go from thinking that to being announced as the winner was a 0-60 U-turn!
And after that intense experience, how did finally seeing the pitch in print feel?
The feeling of being published was a calmer experience, but just as sweet. It’s surreal to see the Prog with your story inside, sitting on a shelf in your hometown W.H. Smiths or local comic shop. Seeing the artwork made from your own words is incredibly satisfying as well, I can’t think of one negative thing about the whole experience.
Going back to entering the contest, how did you hear about the 2000 AD talent search and what convinced you to enter?
When I first heard about the talent search, I was already considering pitching to Tharg through the mail but I figured the contest would be a much better way to go about it.
What are your memories of the actual process of pitching at Thought Bubble and the preparation involved?
If you’re one of the few people who get the chance to pitch [writers get the chance to show their ideas on Saturday and the best ideas are given the chance to pitch live on Sunday], you get instant feedback there and then, so even if you don’t win (like I didn’t do the first time around) you still come away with writing tips. As I was not successful the first time round, I spent the next year trying to make the story as hard as possible for the panel to reject. The method was to study the Future Shocks of the past, come up with as many ideas as possible, and then finesse them so they could stand toe to toe with my favourite Future Shock.
In regards to pitching itself, I turned up as early as possible. Spoke to nobody in the queue, put my headphones in and listened to the same three songs on my iPod, looking like a crazy lady rocking backwards and forwards. I was making sure I was focused on the task ahead as I was pitching without notes – wouldn’t recommend that approach unless you practise your ass off.
As a winner, what essential advice can you give to those writers who are thinking of heading to Thought Bubble this year to pitch?
The only advice I can give is study past Future Shocks, make sure your pitch is under two minutes, if you don’t win keep trying, and listen carefully to all the feedback given on the day.
Since your 2017 win, how has your career taken off and how do you think your writing has evolved?
It’s been less than a year since I started writing for 2000 AD and it’s been a steep learning curve with each script. My own shortcomings as a writer mean that, sometimes, what I want to get across is lost in translation. But, hopefully, my writing will continue to evolve with each script, into being a more direct representation of my thoughts and ideas.
Since winning I’ve written several stories for 2000 AD. I wrote a DeMarco story for the Sci-Fi special, and a Tharg’s Terror Tale called ‘Quilli’. Before the competition, I was publishing my own comics which were probably being read by about 20 people max… so it’s been quite a difference!
When it comes to your writing, what are your chief influences?
Preacher, The Fat Slags, Halo Jones and Junji Ito’s Tomie. The four comics of the apocalypse!
What would a dream writing job entail?
The dream character I’d want to write a story for changes every month. Obviously Judge Dredd, but probably right now I’d love to write a story for The Clown. Also, I had crazy fun writing my Terror Tale called ‘Quilli’, so it would be great to write another.
Finally, what’s coming up next for you?
At the moment I’m writing the DeMarco story for the Megazine, can’t say too much about it as it’s in its early stages. Part one is called “An eye…”.
Every year, 2000 AD gives new writers and artists the chance to get their first work for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic at the annual Thought Bubble convention in Leeds.

They’re not for the faint of heart but the competitions have launched the professional careers of some of the newest talent to grace the pages of 2000 AD!
The art winner for 2015 was Joe Palmer, who went on to provide art for a Tharg’s Future Shock, ‘Lifosuction’ written by the 2015 winner of the writing contest, Rory McConville.
You can find ‘Lifosuction’ in Prog 1972 and Joe’s second Future Shock, ‘An Inconvenient Tooth’, written by Martin Feekins, in Prog 2079.
How did you hear about the 2000 AD talent search and what convinced you to enter?
The first time I entered the competition, it was 2013. I think the first I heard of it was via the Thought Bubble website. I saw the ad and knew I wanted to give it a shot – it didn’t take much convincing for me to think it was a good idea, as it seemed like an amazing opportunity!
What did winning the contest and seeing your art in the pages of Prog 1972 with ‘Lifosuction’ mean for you?
Winning the art competition meant an awful lot to me. I was putting everything I had into improving my skills, and so it was to a certain extent validating to receive that kind of positive feedback. It was a very emotional moment as I remember. You deal with a LOT of rejection when pursuing a career in comics, and so to get a thumbs up once in a while really does mean a lot.
When the Prog came out I was extremely excited to see my work in print. I headed out to Forbidden Planet in London and grabbed five copies for myself and close family. It was a happy day!
As for the competition itself, can you tell us a little about the process, with the portfolio sessions and getting to the second day where your work was critiqued by the art judges in front of a live Thought Bubble audience?
As I mentioned before, I first entered back in 2013. I tried again in 2014, and won in 2015. I was pretty familiar with the process by this point as I’d watched the previous year’s panels and how they went down.
Essentially, as an artist, you draw a four page Future Shock (the script you follow is available on the Thought Bubble website) in time for the weekend of Thought Bubble and bring it to the 2000 AD table on the Saturday. They then select entrants for the second round of judging which takes place in front of an audience on the Sunday. In 2013 and 2014 I didn’t make it through the first round of judging, but I was determined and persistent so I came back for another go in 2015 and it paid off. As for the actual experience itself, it was nerve racking, but it’s nothing compared to what they have to go through in the writing competition!
How did you approach the creation of your Future Shock, ‘Lifosuction’, for 2000 AD, how did the collaboration and editorial process work for you?
It was a really smooth process, as I remember. I was working with the winner of the writer’s competition that year, and the script was clear and well written. Shout out to Rory McConville, who has gone on to write a huge amount of great stuff for 2000 AD and the Megazine since winning, and is still working for them currently. Rory’s script made my job really easy. Working with editor Matt Smith was also a breeze, and he gave some good notes which made my art better.
Since winning the competition, how do you think your work has evolved and where has the competition win and subsequent Future Shock strip taken your comics career? I was working fully digital back then, and my art style has evolved considerably which is both a strength and a weakness. When you’re starting out as a professional in comics, it’s of benefit for editors to know what they are getting when they hire you. I’ve zigged and zagged stylistically as I’ve gotten to know myself better, and as a result it’s been a challenge to market myself as a particular style of artist. I did get the opportunity to illustrate another Future Shock for 2000 AD , which appeared earlier this year, and was a great experience.
What advice would you give to up and coming writers and artists about getting into comics in general, and the 2000 AD/Thought Bubble competition in particular?
To comic creators in general I would say my number one piece of creative advice is ‘get to know yourself’. What type of artist are you? What do you want to achieve? The clearer your goals are, the easier a time you’ll have as the path will be clearer to you. Be persistent beyond normal sane person levels. Work your butt off!
As far as entering the 2000 AD competitions goes, I would say that you have absolutely nothing to lose. Yes, it’s a bit scary and you might get rejected, but in the scheme of things that really isn’t that bad. If you want to make comics professionally, there is no clearer route to a paying job in comics than this competition. To the artists out there in particular- if you want to get a start in the industry, you need to find a way to get to Thought Bubble. At best, you will get professional work, and if you don’t win you come away with four new pages in your portfolio and solid advice on how to improve. If that doesn’t make you want to enter, I don’t know what will!
When did you first start reading 2000 AD, and who would you count amongst your artistic influences?
2000 AD was always a regular fixture in my house. My dad has bought every Prog and Megazine since Prog one, so there were always stacks of comics around. He’s still buying it to this day! As for influences, there’s way too many to mention, but to name a few off the top of my head: Katsuhiro Otomo, Mike Mignola, Moebius, James Harren, Bruce Timm, Daniel Warren Johnson, Fiona Staples, Mike Wieringo, etc., etc.
What comics (or other writing/art) work have you done so far, and what’s coming up for you in the future?
I recently self published my own one-shot called GRIND which I’m really proud of, and I am returning to work on a sci-fi webcomic called The Outrunners with writer Jonathan Gelatt later this year. Aside from that, I’ve worked on a ton of small independent projects.
I’m working on another one-shot at the moment, which I’m going to self publish again. I’ll also be exhibiting at Thought Bubble this year, and will have copies of my books available there. If you’re going to the show, come and say hello! Aside from that, I’m pitching a couple of projects to publishers and hustling to make a living!
Join the creative team behind THE DARK JUDGES: THE FALL OF DEADWORLD – Kek-W and Dave Kendall – at signings in Newcastle and Bristol!
One of the biggest hits with 2000 AD readers in the last few years, The Fall of Deadworld details the rise of the Dark Judges before they made the journey across dimensions to menace Mega-City One.
Inspired by a nightmare, Kendall created new and horrifying visions of John Wagner and Brian Bolland’s creations and with writer Kek-W crafted a new origin story that has been lauded as a future horror classic. Collected in a beautiful hardcover, The Fall of Deadworld is a new chapter in the history of Judge Dredd’s great nemeses.
Join Dave and Kek at two signings over the next few weeks:
Deadworld was once a planet similar to Earth, until Judge Death and his brothers Fear, Fire and Mortis deemed that as only the living could break the law, life itself should be a crime.
As the Dark Judges set out to bring extinction to this parallel world, Judge Fairfax and a family of farmers attempt to escape the chaos.
Is it possible for the living to evade to cold, icy grasp of Death?
This chilling collection also features the Dreams of Deadworld strips, giving an extraordinary insight into the undead psyches of the internationally famous super-fiends.
Kek-W is the real name of a comics writer who sometimes uses the pseudonym ‘Nigel Long’. He’s apparently “a mysterious droid who haunts the ducts between sub-levels 42b and 17h, deep beneath the Nerve Centre”. As well as ‘Dreams of Deadworld’ he has created and worked on many 2000 AD scripts.
Jock (Batman, The Losers), Lee Garbett (Loki), Rob Williams (Suicide Squad), Alex De Campi (DREDD, Mayday) and Arthur Wyatt (DREDD) head 2000 AD’s creator line-up at New York Comic Con next week!
The legendary British comic hits one of the biggest conventions in the US – Booth 2244 will be packed with Thrill-power, from the latest graphic novel collections to merchandise, including pin badges and prints by Vice Press!
The full line-up of signings showcases some of the best art and writing talent to come out of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, including Jock – the visionary artist behind the look of the 2012 DREDD movie – and the new movie- tie-in writing partnership of Arthur Wyatt and Alex De Campi.
Plus, conventioneers will get the chance to roam the poisoned wastelands of Nu Earth by playing the demo of the hotly-anticipated Rogue Trooper Redux. Launching October 17, Rogue Trooper Redux allows players to become one of 2000 AD’s most enduringly popular characters – Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons’ blue-skinned, genetically-modified super-soldier!
And to celebrate 40 years of the toughest lawman of the future, a special panel on the Saturday will look at the history and politics of Judge Dredd with special guests Rob Williams, Ulises Farinas (Judge Dredd: Blessed Earth), Kelly Kanayama (Women Write About Comics), Rosie Knight (Nerdist), Arthur Wyatt, and Alex de Campi.
It promises to be another action-packed week at New York Comic Con – make sure you get your dose of 2000 AD Thrill-power!
Full signing schedule:
Jock and Lee Garbett — Thursday-Saturday, 2pm Rob Williams — Thursday, 1pm; Friday, 12pm; Saturday, 3pm Arthur Wyatt — Thursday-Friday & Sunday, 11am Alex De Campi & Arthur Wyatt — Saturday, 4.30pm
Panel:
Judge Dredd: Supercop or Satire? Saturday 7 October, 6.30pm-7.30pm, Room 1A24 He’s the hardline cop bringing justice to the mean futuristic streets of Mega-City One but is Judge Dredd a hero or a villain? Is he a law enforcement role-model or, in the light of recent years, is he becoming a worrying vision of the future? We debate the pros and cons of the lawman of the future with Rob Williams (Judge Dredd, Suicide Squad), Ulises Farinas (Judge Dredd: Blessed Earth), Kelly Kanayama (Women Write About Comics), Rosie Knight (Nerdist), Arthur Wyatt (DREDD) and Alex de Campi (DREDD).
