From Crisis to Prose to Comics: 45th anniversary panels – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

With things a little hectic in the 2000 AD Nerve Centre we bring you three of the panels from our 45th birthday online convention last month…

The second wave of the ‘British Invasion’ no less an impact on American comics than the first. Host Torunn Grønbekk talks to Garth Ennis, Sean Phillips and John McCrea, all of whom graduated from the ‘mature comics’ boom of the late ’80s and early ’90s and went on to have a huge impact on the industry.

Comedian and broadcaster Robin Ince talks to best-selling crime writer Ian Rankin, award-winning sci-fi author Lauren Beukes, and popular children’s writer Louie Stowell about comics, prose, and the influence of 2000 AD.

And in 2000 AD: Beyond Borders, host Kelly Kanayama talks to 2000 AD writers Arthur Wyatt and Michael Carroll (Judge Dredd) and artist Chris Burnham (Judge Dredd, Batman) about their perspectives on this quintessentially British comic book export.

And, exclusive to the 2000 AD Youtube Channel, there’s a sneak peek of the incredible Judge Dredd by Brian Bolland Apex Edition, which will soon be reaching Earthlets who pre-ordered it last year!

Al Ewing interview (2018) – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

With the ‘Blaze of Glory’ collection bringing together his lauded Judge Dredd stories out now, we revisit our long chat with hit comics writer Al Ewing from 2018.

Bringing a unique new voice to 2000 AD, his vivid imagination and dark humour-tinged stories quickly established him as one of 2000 AD‘s most popular writers and a regular on Judge Dredd, where he worked with Si Spurrier and Rob Williams on the hugely successful Judge Dredd crossover epic, ‘Trifecta’. With his on-going success with Marvel Comics, Ewing sits down with Molch-R to discuss his beginnings as a writer, his preferred version of ‘The Marvel Method’, his thoughts on continuity, and whether he’s coming back to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
