In February 2017, 2000 AD celebrated four decades of cutting edge comics at the 40 Years of Thrill-power Festival in London and we are proud to give you a front row seat for panels with some of the best creators in comics today…

Current and longest-serving 2000 AD editor Matt Smith hosted former ‘Thargs’ Andy Diggle, Steve MacManus and Richard Burton on a panel which lifts the lid on the goings-on behind-the-scenes at the Command Module.

From smashing deadlines to cajoling creators, they’re the behind-the-scenes droids who make sure 2000 AD lands on time every week. For the first time these four iconic editors meet together on one panel to talk about their experience of being at the helm of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

It may be the greatest show on show but San Diego Comic Con got a Thrill-powered boost as 2000 AD landed for a special panel!

Host Molch-R is joined by Dave Gibbons (Rogue Trooper, Watchmen), Mark Stern (executive producer on Judge Dredd: Mega-City One), Bobby McGill (Rebellion’s games marketing team), and Emily Zeinner (new 2000 AD cover artist) for 50 minutes of chat about what’s in store for fans of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic!

2000 AD’s track record for discovering and nurturing new talent is second to none and four creators fresh to our pages come talk to Steve Morris about picking up the torch of Thrill-power for a new generation – Alec Worley (Dandridge, Age of the Wolf), Tom Foster (Storm Warning, Judge Dredd), Eoin Coveney (The Alienist, Future Shocks) and Dani K (Fiends of the Eastern Front, Anderson: Psi Division)

After leaving 2000 AD, Robin Smith went on to work across the comics industry – even missing out on playing a part in prog rock history – and with writers John Wagner and Alan Grant he created the comedy noir series The Bogie Man.

In the second part of our chat with the artist and former 2000 AD art editor, Robin’s stories continue to delight – from working out how to make a Tharg head to the trials of a Doctor Who inker!

Writers and artists may grab the headlines, but letterers and designers have always been a fundamental part of what makes 2000 AD what it is. Host Tom Muller goes behind-the-scenes with former lead designer Pye Parr, veteran letterer Annie Parkhouse, former designer and artist Rian Hughes, and letterer Simon Bowland to discuss the often overlooked arts of lettering and designing the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, from the old days of paste and scalpels to modern desktop computers.

As art editor in the early 1980s, Robin Smith played a big part in making 2000 AD look its best during its first ‘golden age’. From providing cover roughs for artists to designing marketing material, from deciding on cover blurbs to helping bring new talent to the page, Robin helped confirm 2000 AD‘s place as the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.

In a two-part interview, Molch-R spoke to Robin about his time at 2000 AD, some of the fun and games behind the scenes, and what happens when a whole portfolio of art goes missing!
