The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – Charlie Adlard

Welcome to the fantastic fifty-ninth episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

This week Molch-R welcomes artist Charlie Adlard for a mammoth chat about his career, from the difficult lows to the giddying highs – from working on Judge Dredd and Armitage for 2000 AD to the spectacular success of The Walking Dead, his long-running comic book series with Robert Kirkman which thanks to the TV show adaptation has become a global phenomenon. And after one and a half decades, how has he charted his way through the myriad options available to him? Along the way, they talk about the nature of working in commercial comics versus creator-owned, dealing with the TV industry, the evolution of his style, and why he really didn’t want to draw a Formula One car.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – Tiernen Trevallion

Welcome to the fantastic fifty-sixth episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

With series such as ‘Absalom’ and ‘Fiends of the Eastern Front’, over the last decade and a half Tiernen Trevallion has established himself as one of 2000 AD’s favourite artists. With a style that draws on everything from Arthur Rackham to Mike Mignola, Tiernen’s linework and delicately evocative colours have brought an incredible atmosphere to tales of demonic detective work and ancient horrors. The Thrill-Cast sat down with Tiernen and a glass of vodka to talk about his career and how recreating the ‘excitement of discovery’ has propelled his work.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – 2000 AD Audiobooks

Welcome to the exciting fifty-second episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

We’re just hours away from the launch of the brand nee audiobook adaptations of some of 2000 AD’s greatest stories! Penguin Random House’s full-cast adaptations of Judge Dredd: America, Judge Dredd: The Pit, Sláine: The Horned God, The Ballad of Halo Jones, and Brink land on Audible and selected other venues on 4 March 2021.

On this episode of the Thrill-Cast we welcome two of the producers on the series, Chris Thompson and Kate MacDonald, who chat about the challenges of turning comic books into audiobooks.

We then hear from Pat Mills about the origins and influences of Sláine, on Irish mythology, and how the Celtic barbarian broke the Conan mould, before we chat away to Dan Abnett and INJ Culbard about Brink, and how the audiobook adaptation has dovetailed with some of the decisions they made about the comic strip.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – Kevin O’Neill, part one

Welcome to the forty-eighth episode of The Lockdown Tapes as The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast continues to broadcast the joys of Thrill-power during the COVID-19 pandemic! Got a theme or interview you’d like to hear? Let us know at thrillcast@2000AD.com

The Thrill-Cast is back for 2021 – and we begin with the first episode of an epic two-part interview with the legend that is Kevin O’Neill!

Banned by the Comics Code Authority in America, Kevin’s work is unmistakeable – an burst of feverish, even deranged imagination filled with monstrous aliens, mutants, robots and grotesque humans. Utterly unique in comics, his work has maintained an iconoclastic intensity that has no match.

In this first episode, the artist behind Nemesis the Warlock, Ro-Busters, ABC Warriors, Metalzoic, Marshal Law, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen takes your host Molch-R through his life and career, from an office boy on Buster in the 1970s to his industry-shaking work with Pat Mills in the 1980s.

Tune in in two weeks’ time for episode two!
