The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast

It's impossible to talk about the last three decades of 2000 AD without focusing on the work of writer Robbie Morrison, from the epic swashbuckling saga Nikolai Dante to the unhinged violence of Shakara, he has produced some of the most imaginative and unique characters in the history of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. Molch-R sits down with him to discuss his career, the promise he made to his father, his recent shift into writing prose, and the realities of working a Scottish pie van at a football match...

Created by 2000 AD artists Brett Ewins & Steve Dillon, it was the anarchic, irreverent and hugely influential 'mature' comic that ran from 1988 to 1995 and changed the face of the industry — from featuring Alan Martin & Jamie Hewlett's wildly-popular 'Tank Girl' and early work by Philip Bond, Glyn Dillon, D'Israeli, and Nick Abadzis, to sparking a whole host of imitators. On this episode of In Orbit Every Wednesday, Molch-R and KLO-E discuss the history and creators behind this seminal title in British culture.

Then we take you to Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle for the 'All Gas, No Brakes: How Deadline Shaped Tank Girl, Gorillaz, and Pop Culture Media Forever' panel as host KLO-E is joined by 2000 AD writer Arthur Wyatt, journalist Graeme McMillan, and Chris Northrop, project manager of A1/Deadline as they discuss Britpop, post-punk, mutant kangaroos, anthropomorphic monkeys with crazy rhythm, girls with shaved heads, an appreciation for sad boys singing, atomic babies, a whole lot of ennui, and how Deadline shaped pop culture as we appreciate it even now.

Revolution, rebellion, and moral comeuppance — there's a theme running through a lot of the stories in the latest issues of 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, and it ain't exactly pro-billionaire! Molch-R and KLO-E run through the gamut of stories in this week's new issues to discuss the morality of wealth, the joy of seeing someone's spine being kicked out of their back, more 'Brink', and the art of 'Megatropolis' ... before the show has to take a pause as KLO-E can't contain a laughing fit...

This week, Molch-R & KLO-E get on their bikes as they examine what Peter Milligan and Brendan McCarthy's surrealist, time-travelling polemic from 1986, Sooner or Later, actually says about the world of 2026 – from unemployment to A.I., from desperation to commodification.

In the second part of a brand new three-part interview with the comic book legend, John Wagner tells Molch-R that there could have been a movie based on the Eagle comic series Doomlord and reflects on projects that didn't make it beyond the planning stages — including a saucy number that even his wife warned him about! Along the way, they discuss Dredd, his partnerships with Alan Grant and Carlos Ezquerra, and what he'd do differently if he was creating Judge Dredd now.
