In the second part of our chat with the artist and former 2000 AD art editor, Robin's stories continue to delight - from working out how to make a Tharg head to the trials of a Doctor Who inker!

Writers and artists may grab the headlines, but letterers and designers have always been a fundamental part of what makes 2000 AD what it is. Host Tom Muller goes behind-the-scenes with former lead designer Pye Parr, veteran letterer Annie Parkhouse, former designer and artist Rian Hughes, and letterer Simon Bowland to discuss the often overlooked arts of lettering and designing the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, from the old days of paste and scalpels to modern desktop computers.

As art editor in the early 1980s, Robin Smith played a big part in making 2000 AD look its best during its first 'golden age'. From providing cover roughs for artists to designing marketing material, from deciding on cover blurbs to helping bring new talent to the page, Robin helped confirm 2000 AD's place as the Galaxy's Greatest Comic.

In a two-part interview, Molch-R spoke to Robin about his time at 2000 AD, some of the fun and games behind the scenes, and what happens when a whole portfolio of art goes missing!

From the mad realms of Meltdown Man to the lethal world of Death Planet, Alan Hebden is one of 2000 AD's most singular writers.

Starting out writing war comics, he worked for Battle Picture Weekly in the mid-1970s where he created the incredibly popular Major Eazy along with possibly the first ever comic book about the conflict in Vietnam, Fighting Mann. For 2000 AD he wrote dozens of Future Shocks and the fantastical Meltdown Man (with favoured collaborator Massimo Belardinelli), as well as Mind Wars for Starlord, and has written hundreds of scripts for Commando.
