Just discovered this but haven't had time to delve very deep into it. (Kids to pick up from school and Misssus from work you know how it is).

Just read this on CBR, apparently its part of a year long series of interviews with creators who have worked for 2000ad over the last 35 years.

Mr Mills talks honestly about past editorial teams, fellow creators and projects of the past and future.

I thought I would bring this to the attention of the artist community here:

Unfortunately, I don't own any sketches or original art (YET!). I think that they are a great thing for a fan to own and a nice side - project for the artist.

I can't see the problem with fans receiving a personal piece of art from their favourite artist of their favourite character.

 
Alan Moore passes on a few pearls of enlightened wisdom:

With the film out next year, I would imagine that it will bring new blood to the comic and this site. Some may not have read a Dredd strip or even picked up a copy of 2000ad before. (poor deprived souls) How about putting up some specially produced 'teaser' strips of each character/strip? This would be a way of introducing new readers to the wonders within.

DC has, on the 'heroes and villians' section of their site, one or two page character bios created by top writers and artists (Bolland, etc).

(An artwork gallery would be great too!)
         

Do any of you wonderful people out there have a scan or pic of a med judge for me to use as a reference?

Zippo calling:

Has anyone had a script published in 2000AD or elsewhere?
I had a Future Shock published many, many years ago.
My advice? Always send you best stuff, let them see how good you are. Hone each frame and page. Make you speech punchy and succinct. Try to be original - I know its hard but try.
Good luck.

Zippo calling:

Are there any old-time readers of 2000AD out there in the digital ether?
