As Molch-R is off to recharge his batteries in isolation for a week, on this episode we return to the biggest interview the Thrill-Cast has ever broadcast – the epic chat with John Wagner from 2016! It’s hard to overstate John’s impact on the industry as co-creator of Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Button Man, and so much more. In this three hour interview, John discusses his life and career, from the beginnings of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, his writing partnership with Alan Grant, why he thinks he’s never made it in American comics, and his thoughts about the future of his greatest creation. It’s a feast for the ears, though with some hefty background noise from the pub!

Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison’s sci-fi odyssey series, The Out, has become something of a sleeper hit in the pages of 2000 AD. At the furthest edge of the universe, Cyd Finlea is photo-journalist working for the publishers Global Neographic, travelling deep into outer space — otherwise known as THE OUT — and cataloguing the alien societies that she encounters. She left Earth ten years ago and has lost track of how far she is from home, but regardless she keeps going. Dan and Mark discuss the series’ serendipitous creation, the influence of 1970s and ’80s sci-fi book covers, and how Cyd’s journey through The Out tells us something out the here and now.

The Tammy & Jinty Special is out imminently and the Thrill-Cast talks to the writers behind its two tales – Rachael Smith and RAMZEE. They discuss everything from creating convincing characters to structuring one-and-done stories, from plugging into the legacy of girls’ comics of the 1970s and ’80s to finding your own voice as a creator.

Before 2000 AD there was Action. Before Action, there was Battle Picture Weekly – created by Pat Mills and John Wagner, the war-themed weekly was the first shoots of what would come to become a comics revolution. On this episode of the Lockdown Tapes we talk to Dave Hunt, who took over as editor of Battle after its launch. From his own childhood amidst the ruins of war in the East End of London to working with artistic greats such as Carlos Ezquerra, Joe Colquhoun and Mike Western, from the fallout after the ‘banning’ of Action to the relaunch of the legendary Eagle in the 1980s, Dave was at the helm for a vital period of British comics and, despite the challenges the medium faced, had a key role in producing some of the industry’s most influential titles.

From his beginnings in the underground comics scene of the 1970s to his original graphic novels of the last 15 years, Bryan Talbot’s career has been a singular one. His groundbreaking series The Adventures of Luther Arkwright has not only been cited as helping create the ‘steampunk’ subgenre but was collected as one of the earliest examples of the ‘graphic novel’. His time at 2000 AD saw him apply the series’ steampunk trappings to Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill’s Nemesis the Warlock, as well as Judge Dredd, and he then went on to success in American comics on series such as Sandman. The Thrill-Cast chats at length to Bryan about his life and work, his influences, and how he has become internationally recognised as one of the key creators in British comics, with award-winning books such as The Tale of One Bad Rat, Alice in Sunderland, and Grandville.
