Paul Tobin is running a favourite cover artist countdown on his blog, with the great Steranko at #9, which gives us a good excuse to borrow one of the covers Paul’s celebrating and share it on here – any excuse for some fab Steranko art (thanks to Dave Gibbons for the link): (Steranko puts Nick [...]

2000 AD Twitter mash-up

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Comments Off

This made me laugh out loud – Richmond Clements and Kev Levell created a 2000 AD mash-up of a Twitter stream from various characters in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic for the monthly art competition on the 2000 AD Forums. As with most Twitter Feeds the earliest lines are at the bottom, so read from bottom [...]

John Romita Jr does Dredd – and five others who should

Wednesday, September 15, 2010

1 Comment

As some of you may already know Rebellion is making a serious effort to push 2000 AD more in the American market. Despite the fact that the US comics industry has cherry picked a diverse array of writers and artists who served their time on 2000 AD, from Bolland and Ennis to Morrison and Moore [...]

Music and comics: Pádraig Ó Méalóid talks to Peter Hogan

Friday, September 10, 2010

2 Comments

That man Pádraig Ó Méalóid strikes once more, pouncing on another unsuspecting comics writer, pen and pad in hand, armed with a bandolier of questions as he talks to the fine Peter Hogan about his early comics reading (a slew of classic Brit comics many of us grew up on), being exposed to his first [...]

Friday, September 3, 2010

Comments Off

Further to Joe’s post yesterday about Jason Garrattley putting up some rare Ian Gibson work from 2000AD, he’s also done a couple of posts on Brian Bolland and Kevin O’Neill. It does go without saying that they’re worth looking at….. (Brian Bolland’s cover to a 1985 issue of much loved fanzine Arkensword) (Gorgeous original pencils [...]

Increased Leisure Citizen

Any of you who are old hands from 2000 AD or are Alan Moore fans (or both) will get the reference in the title to Moore and Gibson’s brilliant Halo Jones. A lot of us still have a tremendous soft spot for Halo Jones, it was quite an unusual tale for a weekly Brit comic [...]

Blast from the past: a History of Judgement

Wednesday, September 1, 2010

1 Comment

I’ve been indulging in a little virtual archaeology recently and unearthed some old reviews I wrote years ago, science fiction, fantasy, some pop science books and, as you’d expect, some graphic novel ones. Having rediscovered them I was reposting them to my own blog just to let them see the light of day once more; [...]

PJ Holden alerts us to an early easer trailer for the 2000 AD fan film Judge Minty by Steven Sterlacchini; Squaxx dek Thargo will already be aware that Minty is an old Judge who is paired with Judge Dredd when it is suspected that as he is getting older his judgement is starting to falter. [...]

Comic Book Resources caught up with Rebellion graphic novel editor Keith Richardson at Comic Con, where he unveiled some of Rebellion’s plans to push 2000 AD in the US comics market. Despite its 30-plus years of history in the UK and an unrivalled reputation as the proving ground for a stream of the top international [...]

2000 AD fan comics go Irish

Thursday, July 1, 2010

Comments Off

Pádraig passes on an email from David McDonald who’s looking for contributors who would be interested in putting together a small press comics drawing on Irish characters from 2000 AD (guessing something like the excellent Zarjaz but with more of a Celtic flavour) for ‘a bit of fun’: “So far the characters that I have [...]

Rian Hughes’ Robohunter Reprinted….

Friday, June 25, 2010

Comments Off

Now I never realised that the wonderful Rian Hughes ever did that much for 2000AD. I thought his Really & Truly strip (reprinted in the must buy Yesterday’s Tomorrows book) was about it. So I’m very grateful to the Reprint This blog for filling in my knowledge gaps. It seems Hughes did more. Not much, [...]

Judge Albert!

Comments Off

He is the Victorian law! Via the always fun b3ta image competitions comes this rendering of Prince Albert as a Judge; all we need now is a Victorian steampunk Lawmaster and a Justice Central designed like the 1851 Crystal Palace to go with it! Is it just me or does anyone else now have an [...]

Dredd – from script to page

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

1 Comment

2000 AD Review – a fan site, not surprisingly, given over to celebrating the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic – is running an interesting series of script-to-page features, with the scripts for 2000 AD and Megazine tales on show along with some illustrations. Quite interesting in its own right and, I’d think, also worth a look for [...]
