The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – 30 years of the Judge Dredd Megazine!
23rd September 2020
Welcome to the thirty-sixth of The Lockdown Tapes as The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast continues to broadcast the joys of Thrill-power during the COVID-19 pandemic! Got a theme or interview you’d like to hear? Let us know at thrillcast@2000AD.com
We continue our celebration of 30 years of the Judge Dredd Megazine with a podcast first – every editor of the Megazine from the past three decades, all together! We host Steve MacManus, David Bishop, John Tomlinson, Andy Diggle, Alan Barnes, and Matt Smith as they discuss the creation and life of the Megazine, its highs and lows, its relations with 2000 AD, and whether it has achieved its mission to open up the world of Judge Dredd.
We then take another dive into the archive and back to our very first episode in 2015, with artist Colin MacNeil talking about working on one of the Megazine’s first ever stories – ‘America’.
