The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Lockdown Tapes – Kevin O’Neill, part one
3rd February 2021
Welcome to the forty-eighth episode 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 Thrill-Cast is back for 2021 – and we begin with the first episode of an epic two-part interview with the legend that is Kevin O’Neill!
Banned by the Comics Code Authority in America, Kevin’s work is unmistakeable – an burst of feverish, even deranged imagination filled with monstrous aliens, mutants, robots and grotesque humans. Utterly unique in comics, his work has maintained an iconoclastic intensity that has no match.
In this first episode, the artist behind Nemesis the Warlock, Ro-Busters, ABC Warriors, Metalzoic, Marshal Law, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen takes your host Molch-R through his life and career, from an office boy on Buster in the 1970s to his industry-shaking work with Pat Mills in the 1980s.
Tune in in two weeks’ time for episode two!
