24th April 2020
Welcome to the tenth 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
In this episode we round off our look at the Cor!! Buster Easter Special with a chat with Hilary Barta, artist on Plastic Man and What the–? for Marvel and now Kid Kong with Alec Worley for the latest humour anthology from Rebellion. As well as discussing the difference in American and British humour, we touch on how to tell jokes in comics and new takes on classic characters.
We’re then joined by political journalist and writer Ian Dunt for a deep-dive into the work of Rob Williams on Judge Dredd. From breaking Dredd in ‘Titan’ to the end of the conspiracy in ‘The Small House’, Dunt and Molch-R examine what is unique about Williams’ work on the series and what it says about the lawman’s changing character over the past decade. There are swears and spoilers aplenty, so be warned Earthlets!
