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.

From "gifted child" to million-selling comic artist, Liam Sharp's artistic journey has been one of high hopes and hard work. Beginning his career as an apprentice of legendary The Rise & Fall of The Trigan Empire artist Don Lawrence, Sharp went on to debut at 2000 AD while still in his teens and co-create the precocious homocidal teenager PJ Maybe, before his work saw him propelled to stardom in the comics boom of the 1990s. The Thrill-Cast sits down for a long talk with Sharp following his move back to Britain from the US, discussing his feelings about his career, mental health, his time working with Lawrence, and where he is now.

The latest Judge Dredd Megazine sees the return of Galen DeMarco! Once a Judge, a rising star operating out of the corrupt dumping ground that was Sector House 301, DeMarco quit the force after one romantic indiscretion too many and set herself up as a private investigator. Although the heir to a fortune, she lost much of her cash in one of her last cases, so is keen to take on any client.

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast talks to new script droid Laura Bailey and new art droid Paul Williams (both winners of the Thought Bubble new talent competitions!) about the series, what it's like getting their first series for the House of Tharg.

It's a brand new series that will make you think twice about taking that shortcut home through the trees - the official 2000 AD podcast takes a look at creepy new folk-horror series Thistlebone by T.C. Eglington and Simon Davis!

Cult survivor Avril Eason and journalist Seema Chaudry heads back to the village of Harrowvale to investigate the lingering myth of the titular woodland deity, in a nerve-jangling, atmospheric thriller debuting in 2000 AD Prog 2135.

Molch-R talks to Eglington and Davis about how to do horror in comics, the 1970s, music, and why the folk horror 'revival' may be a reaction to our changing world.
