From the means streets to far space, writer Michael Carroll has his feet in different 2000 AD worlds with his current work – with one series returning after a long hiatus and another drawing to a close.
The new series of Dreadnoughts begins in Judge Dredd Megazine #468 this month. While the new Justice Department is still in its early years, many citizens – and more than a few cops – are unhappy as the Judges’ influence spreads wider, so Carroll talks about both the prescience of Judge Dredd and unreliable narrators…
And over in 2000 AD, the fifth series of Proteus Vex, ‘Devious’, is set to close the curtain on the super spy space opera, and Carroll discusses the influences on the series, world-building and preparing to stick the landing on the long-running series.

“Prolific” doesn’t really seem to cover the career of writer Dan Abnett – from decades of writing for 2000 AD to his prominent work for Marvel UK, Marvel and DC, and bestselling novels for the Warhammer 40K universe, his career has been marked by both quantity and quality.
Dan returns to the The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast for a retrospective on his career (so far) and he talks to Molch-R about deadlines, managing creativity, slow-burn storytelling, the changing face of the industry, and coming up with endless puns.

From “gifted child” to million-selling comic artist, Liam Sharp’s artistic journey has been one of high hopes and hard work. Beginning his career as an apprentice of legendary The Rise & Fall of The Trigan Empire artist Don Lawrence, Sharp went on to debut at 2000 AD while still in his teens and co-create the precocious homocidal teenager PJ Maybe, before his work saw him propelled to stardom in the comics boom of the 1990s. The Thrill-Cast sits down for a long talk with Sharp following his move back to Britain from the US, discussing his feelings about his career, mental health, his time working with Lawrence, and where he is now.

At the very end of 2023, the legendary artist John M Burns sadly passed away. While well known amongst 2000 AD fans for his extensive work on stories including Judge Dredd, The Order, and Nikolai Dante, Burns’ career spanned six decades and endeared him to generations of readers thanks to enthralling and enchanting work on TV tie-ins such as Champion The Wonder Horse, Doctor Who, Mission Impossible, Buck Rogers, Magnum P.I., as well as Dan Dare and Kelpie the Boy Wizard, plus phenominally successful newspaper strips such as The Seekers, Danielle, George & Lynne, Jane, and Modesty Blaise.
Whether pen and ink or fully-painted, John’s work brought so much joy, evoked so much admiration and respect from fans and his peers alike. A true artist’s artist, he was someone whose work is instantly recognisable and someone who maintained the highest quality throughout that extraordinarily long career full of page after page of perfect comic art.
In this episode, we pay tribute to this extraordinary talent by talking to just some of the people who knew him – Tim Quinn is a comics writer and editor who worked with John for many years, Sean Phillips is a multi-awardwinning artist, Robbie Morrison is the co-creator and writer of Nikolai Dante, and Paul Duncan is an editor and writer working on a book about John’s extraordinary legacy. Together, they paint a vivid picture of the man, his work, and his legacy.
And Paul Duncan has kindly provided higher resolution images of the art featured in this episode:

2000 AD has had more than its fair share of artists whose work can be described as “unique” – but few match the distinctive individuality of Simon Harrison.
From his first work on the demonicly badly-behaved alien infant Bradley to the lead up to the most iconic moment in Strontium Dogand the fever dream of Revere, Harrison’s art was utterly unmistakeable and rewarding. In this episode, Molch-R talks to him about his life and career, from his childhood in south London to visiting battlefields of Ukraine in the name of art. Just like his work, Harrison’s views on life and art are fascinating and challenging, but still completely his own.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast is back to mark the passing of a legend – as Judge Barbara Hershey comes to the end of her days bringing law to the lawless!
With the final episode of Hershey: ‘The Cold In The Bones’ in 2000 AD Prog 2349 still fresh in the memory and the beginning of Judge Dredd’s quest to find her killers in ‘Poison’ in 2000 AD Prog 2351, Molch-R creaks back into action to talk to writer Rob Williams and artist Simon Fraser about the end of both their solo Hershey series and of the former Chief Judge’s story.
