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.

In his new memoir – King’s Reach: John Sanders’ 25 Years at the Top of Comics – he reveals, for the first time, his story and that of the medium that would go on to dominate global culture.

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!

Future Shocks have been a staple of 2000 AD since 1977, when writer Steve Moore pioneered the short comic book story with a sting in the tail that have seen legendary writers such as Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Neil Gaiman hone their craft into the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comics.

Now, those classic stories are gaining new life in a series of new podcast interpretations from some of the most exciting new and established talent in audio drama. Producer Nathaniel Tapley (Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz) and comedian Rufus Hound talk to the Thrill-Cast about this star-studded series of audio dramas, and the challenges of turning a visual medium into an audio one!
