The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes: Brian Bolland

Welcome to the eleventh 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

Brian Bolland is one of the all-time greatest 2000 AD artists. Alongside Carlos Ezquerra and Mick McMahon, he is one of the definitive Judge Dredd artists and his work remains evocative and universally acclaimed. As the co-creator of Judge Anderson, Judge Death, and Judge Hershey, he has also had a major influence on the strip’s history and his art has adorned everything from skateboards to band T-shirts, from wall posters to prints. The Thrill-Cast chatted with Brian about his long career in comics, from his love of DC superheroes to his work alongside Dave Gibbons on the Nigerian caped crusader Powerman, from his work for 2000 AD to helping lead the ‘British Invasion’ into American comics in the 1980s.
