First memory of 2000AD?
A school friend of mine picked up the second issue and, knowing I had a particular interest in them, told me there was a new comic out that had dinosaurs in it. I snapped it up and went on to buy it regularly for about a decade.
Favourite Character or Story?
Old One Eye (naturally); and Rogue Trooper.
What do you like most about the 2000AD?
There’s always something in there to love. Great artwork or an excellent script or a brilliant cover. I guess from a personal perspective, it was also instrumental in my own development as a comics creator – from learning to copy Mike McMahon and Kev O’Neil’s art as a kid to writing Rogue Trooper years later.
What would you most like to see in 2000AD as it heads to its Forties?
Me. Or, more realistically, more Shakara (the comic, not the singer) – my fav strip in years.
If you worked on 2000AD, do you have an anecdote you'd like to share about your experience of Tharg and his minions?
I remember the softball games between 2000AD and Marvel UK in Regents Park. They were great fun – and so damned competitive. I especially remember the day Brian Bolland joined the 2000AD team then bought me a pint after!
