The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast: Cursed Earth Uncensored and Scream!

A mammoth retro special this week as we begin with an interview with Ian Rimmer, editor of Scream! comic, about working in comics in the 1980s, the hazards of censorship, making scary comics for kids that aren’t TOO scary, and the forthcoming reprint of Monster by Alan Moore, John Wagner, Alen Grant, Heinzel, and Jesus Redondo.

With the imminent publication of Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Uncensored, we also have a fascinating chat with writer Chris Lowder – aka Jack Adrian – about penning the infamously ‘banned’ ‘Soul Food’ episodes, his time at 2000 AD, and what it’s like to see The Cursed Earth collected in its entirety for the very first time.

Plus, Tharg the Mighty answers YOUR questions in ‘Ask Tharg’!

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Supplemental: Mick McMahon, Part 1

A seminal Judge Dredd artist and a towering figure in British comics, Mick McMahon is a remarkably humble and down-to-earth guy.

Originally brought in to mimic co-creator Carlos Ezquerra’s art on Dredd’s first stories, he went on to develop his own unique style and was responsible for the ‘big boots’ look of Dredd’s outfit as well as many iconic covers and key moments for the future’s greatest lawman.

He also brought new and inventive styles to Sláine and Ro-Busters before going on to co-create the incredible The Last American. The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast sits down for a two-part interview with one of the greatest 2000 AD artists of all time.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast: Boo Cook, TC Eglington & Kat-Scan interviewed!

On the latest 2000 AD podcast, we bid goodbye to 2000 AD reprographics droid, Kathryn Symes aka Kat-Scan, and discuss the challenges of breathing life into the comics of yesteryear, whether it’s Judge Dredd, Dan Dare, or Misty! Kat’s work on our graphic novels has been tireless and usually goes unnoticed by most readers, so we’re sad to see her go.

We also talk to writer TC Eglington and artist Boo Cook about their new Dredd-universe series, Blunt, which has been years in the making and debuts in this week’s Judge Dredd Megazine!
