The Megazine interview that Bish-OP did is great for that sort of thing, also a lot of dirt dishing (mainly on 90s DC editorial), him not thinking much of Grant Morrison and a clue to why he never got on the Vertigo bandwagon with other Brits (he thinks magic is stupid). Also some great stuff about bringing Alan Moore into the 2000ad fold.

2000AD sold best in the 80s, it should be the 80s again.

There was a TV show in the early 2000s (CGI, so probably holds up as well as anything CGI around then holds up) and a film announcement a few years back that just kind of disappeared. Though it’s theoretically a big IP I’m honestly not sure it’s the world really cares that much about stiff upper lip British officers defending the space commonwealth anymore, and if you move too far from that it stops being Dare.

Very much enjoying the general cover theme of "things that would get you discussed in Parliament in 1976".

Starlord

2000ad has the name and Tharg and Dredd but the early progs are awfully crufty until the Starlord merger, which replaced a lot of the dead weight with Dredd quality thrills making it the comic we know today.

Gonna claim magneto gloop as a win, thematically at least. https://twitter.com/newscientist/status/1509599345255100417?s=21&t=q9ID9aPZZUoc6ZsN2c2G3g

Probably goes without saying, but the Wagner interview is really great and essential listening.

Dies involve some wince inducing postage… on the other hand it’s a thing I've wanted since I first knew about it decades ago.

Probably better to leave weird unfunny nonsense to the Megaverse folk.
