“I feel like a son of 2000 AD” – Liam Sharp on the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

From “gifted child” to million-selling comic artist, Liam Sharp’s artistic journey has been one of high hopes and hard work. Beginning his career as an apprentice of legendary The Rise & Fall of The Trigan Empire artist Don Lawrence, Sharp went on to debut at 2000 AD while still in his teens and co-create the precocious homocidal teenager PJ Maybe, before his work saw him propelled to stardom in the comics boom of the 1990s. The Thrill-Cast sits down for a long talk with Sharp following his move back to Britain from the US, discussing his feelings about his career, mental health, his time working with Lawrence, and where he is now.

A Tribute to John M Burns – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

At the very end of 2023, the legendary artist John M Burns sadly passed away. While well known amongst 2000 AD fans for his extensive work on stories including Judge Dredd, The Order, and Nikolai Dante, Burns’ career spanned six decades and endeared him to generations of readers thanks to enthralling and enchanting work on TV tie-ins such as Champion The Wonder Horse, Doctor Who, Mission Impossible, Buck Rogers, Magnum P.I., as well as Dan Dare and Kelpie the Boy Wizard, plus phenominally successful newspaper strips such as The Seekers, Danielle, George & Lynne, Jane, and Modesty Blaise.

Whether pen and ink or fully-painted, John’s work brought so much joy, evoked so much admiration and respect from fans and his peers alike. A true artist’s artist, he was someone whose work is instantly recognisable and someone who maintained the highest quality throughout that extraordinarily long career full of page after page of perfect comic art.

In this episode, we pay tribute to this extraordinary talent by talking to just some of the people who knew him – Tim Quinn is a comics writer and editor who worked with John for many years, Sean Phillips is a multi-awardwinning artist, Robbie Morrison is the co-creator and writer of Nikolai Dante, and Paul Duncan is an editor and writer working on a book about John’s extraordinary legacy. Together, they paint a vivid picture of the man, his work, and his legacy.

Battle Action with Garth Ennis, Keith Burns & Patrick Goddard – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

The Battle Action Special is out in comci book stores on 8 June and we welcome back writer Garth Ennis to the 2000 AD podcast to talk about how influential Battle Action was on him and his career, the ins and outs of writing war comics, and why without Battle there’d be no 2000 AD!

We’re then joined by two of the artists from this hardcover special – Keith Burns and Patrick Goddard – to discuss following in the footsteps of artistic giants like John Cooper and Mike Western, how they approach drawing action, and why reference isn’t cheating!

From Crisis to Prose to Comics: 45th anniversary panels – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

With things a little hectic in the 2000 AD Nerve Centre we bring you three of the panels from our 45th birthday online convention last month…

The second wave of the ‘British Invasion’ no less an impact on American comics than the first. Host Torunn Grønbekk talks to Garth Ennis, Sean Phillips and John McCrea, all of whom graduated from the ‘mature comics’ boom of the late ’80s and early ’90s and went on to have a huge impact on the industry.

Comedian and broadcaster Robin Ince talks to best-selling crime writer Ian Rankin, award-winning sci-fi author Lauren Beukes, and popular children’s writer Louie Stowell about comics, prose, and the influence of 2000 AD.

And in 2000 AD: Beyond Borders, host Kelly Kanayama talks to 2000 AD writers Arthur Wyatt and Michael Carroll (Judge Dredd) and artist Chris Burnham (Judge Dredd, Batman) about their perspectives on this quintessentially British comic book export.

And, exclusive to the 2000 AD Youtube Channel, there’s a sneak peek of the incredible Judge Dredd by Brian Bolland Apex Edition, which will soon be reaching Earthlets who pre-ordered it last year!

Al Ewing interview (2018) – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

With the ‘Blaze of Glory’ collection bringing together his lauded Judge Dredd stories out now, we revisit our long chat with hit comics writer Al Ewing from 2018.

Bringing a unique new voice to 2000 AD, his vivid imagination and dark humour-tinged stories quickly established him as one of 2000 AD‘s most popular writers and a regular on Judge Dredd, where he worked with Si Spurrier and Rob Williams on the hugely successful Judge Dredd crossover epic, ‘Trifecta’. With his on-going success with Marvel Comics, Ewing sits down with Molch-R to discuss his beginnings as a writer, his preferred version of ‘The Marvel Method’, his thoughts on continuity, and whether he’s coming back to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
