August 05, 2024 Episode 231: Why was Steve Dillon one of the greatest artists of all time?
When Steve Dillon passed away unexpectedly in 2016, comics lost one of its greatest talents. This episode, marking the release of The 2000 AD Art of Steve Dillon Apex Edition, we discuss his legacy and talk to those keeping his memory alive.

Tanya Celine is Steve's daughter-in-law and organises The Steve Dillon Exhibition. Since its launch at the Panel Gallery in Northampton, the exhibition of fifty of Steve’s most iconic and beloved works has been shown at comic book conventions in the UK and Italy. Molch-R talks to Tanya about Steve, his work and his life.

We are then joined by writer, editor and critic David Brothers to deep dive into one of Steve's greatest stories – Judge Dredd: Cry of the Werewolf, from 2000 AD Progs Progs 322–328 in 1983.
