The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – Chris Weston & Simon Furman, Halo Jones deep-dive
15th May 2020
Welcome to the sixteenth 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
The Smash! Special is out at the end of May, bringing some of the all-time classic British comic book characters back for stunning new adventures! Simon Furman and Chris Weston join the Thrill-Cast to talk about their revival of The House of Dolmann. Created by Tom Tully and Eric Bradbury, the series featured inventor Eric Dolmann and his small army of robot puppets who fought crime!
We’re then joined by Jarrod and MJ from comics site Doomrocket to take a deep-dive into The Ballad of Halo Jones, Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s stunning series which began as an antidote to 2000 AD‘s usual male-dominated action characters and became a fascinating, emotional journey of an ‘ordinary’ women’s attempts to escape her humdrum life.
