It’s the fascinating sixty-eighth episode of The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

An artist who should need no introduction, Arthur Ranson was a stalwart of British comics from the 1970s with work on licensed properties for Look-in before moving to 2000 AD in the 1980s and quickly establishing himself as one of the seminal artists on Judge Anderson’s solo adventures. His meticulously detailed style brought atmosphere and depth to his work, whether it was adding verve to adaptations of TV classics such as Sapphire & Steel or rendering the gritty streets of Mega-City One in Judge Dredd. In the 1990s, he co-created the noir crime thriller Button Man with John Wagner and the fantastical Mazeworld with Alan Grant, while drawing some of the most pivotal and moving moments in Judge Anderson’s life. He has since retired, but collections of his work have brought on re-evaluations of his work for new generations of comics fans, drawn to the rich detail and extraordinary influences of his work. In this interview from 2018, Molch-R chats with Arthur about his life, his work, and his choices both creative and personal.

We then revisit the Thrill-Cast roundtable about Arthur’s career and legacy, when Rebellion Publishing’s Head of Books and Comic Books Ben Smith, geek culture reporter Graeme McMillan, comics journalist John Freeman, and photographer and artist Ellen Rogers join Molch-R to talk about what Arthur’s work for 2000 AD and beyond means to them, why it deserves wider awareness, and the influence it has had on generations of readers and creators.

Welcome to the fantastical flying sixty-fifth episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

From Judge Dredd to Mercy Heights, from Strontium Dogs to Harmony, with his Mick McMahon-influenced style and solid storytelling Trevor Hairsine’s time at 2000 AD in the 1990s was filled with variety, but it was the politically-charged Cla$$war with Rob Williams that helped bring him to the attention of Marvel, where he’s gone from ‘young gun’ to seasoned veteran. The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast chats extensively to Trevor about his career, his battle with a lack of confidence in his own abilities, and living with Henry Flint sleeping in the corner.

Welcome to the sutephalacalidaistic-exhimanitopus sixty-third episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

This episode is, also, late – apologies for the technical issues that mean we’re a week and a day late with the latest burst of aural Thrill-power, Earthlets. Something something Thrill-suckers something. But we’re back and we have two short interviews with some of the creative minds behind the latest issue of 2000 AD Regened – writer Roger Langridge, and artists Brett Parson and PJ Holden. From the hilarious new misadaventure of Mary-Poppins-meets-Catwoman ‘Pandora Perfect’ to the Dredd-world series ‘Department K’ and ‘Chimpsky’s Law’, Molch-R talks to Roger, Brett and PJ about their work for the all-ages special. Apologies for the poor sound quality during the interviews, it was caused by sun spots. Or something.

Welcome to the fantastic fifty-ninth episode of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes!

This week Molch-R welcomes artist Charlie Adlard for a mammoth chat about his career, from the difficult lows to the giddying highs – from working on Judge Dredd and Armitage for 2000 AD to the spectacular success of The Walking Dead, his long-running comic book series with Robert Kirkman which thanks to the TV show adaptation has become a global phenomenon. And after one and a half decades, how has he charted his way through the myriad options available to him? Along the way, they talk about the nature of working in commercial comics versus creator-owned, dealing with the TV industry, the evolution of his style, and why he really didn’t want to draw a Formula One car.
