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.

From comics created with childhood friends in his bedroom to his acclaimed noir crime comics with Ed Brubaker, comics have been a fundamental part of Sean Phillips’ life. A teenager when he began working for British girls’ comics, he moved onto ‘mature’ title Crisis and then onto 2000 AD before becoming one of the key artists in the early years of the Vertigo imprint and then working on the smash hit, Marvel Zombies. Since then, he has forged a winning partnership with Brubaker on creator-owned titles such as Criminal and Fatale. In this episode of the Thrill-Cast, Sean chats about his singular journey from the pages of Jinty and Tammy, to the hard-boiled streets of the American nightmare.

From Judge Dredd stories such as Muzak Killer and The Juve Mutated Kung Fu Kleggs to a long stint on Sláine, as well as work on Marvel UK’s Digitek and Wizard of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering card game, Power’s fully-painted work was inspired by 2000 AD artists such as Brian Bolland, Simon Bisley and Glenn Fabry. But a chance recommendation in 1997 saw him move from comics to working on a career in character and production design for TV and film, including films such as on Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, the Harry Potter franchise, Batman Begins, Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate factory, V for Vendetta, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Fantastic Beasts. The Thrill-Cast chats to Power about his career, how to pronounce Tír na nÓg, how lessons he learnt in comics have impacted his work in movies, and how painting onto black paper seemed like a good idea at the time.
