2000 AD Online Forum

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, thrills in every store! Oooooooh, it's here, the highlight of the year, welcome to the SEVENTH 2000AD advent calendar!!!

Last year, we kept this thread comment free and full of juicy Thrillpower so I'll start a new thread for comments here: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php?topic=42795.0 (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php?topic=42795.0)

Right! December 1st and I have a 'musical' extravaganza for you! It's my annual shitey film with horrible Mackem singing. Sadly this year I really haven't had time to do the visuals, which I'm sure is no great shame for any of you. However, I'm sure the blistering artwork of Mr Henry Flint will soften the blow. My friends, I offer you Enceladus, the 'Musical!' Apologies in advance...

Thanks in advance to everybody who signed up to the calendar, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Also, a massive thanks to all the folks who've contributed to the board this year, you all make my day! Real life means I can't get on here as often as I'd like but I do try and catch up at least once a day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GRUD BLESS US EVERYONE!

Well still learning the ropes here, hope to be able to put up some more stuff in the coming days, weeks...

Right so, here goes. My entry will be spoilered somewhat in advance by anyone following twitter (not that I'm complaining - thanks, 2000ad!)

No comp from me this year, I'm afraid. Instead I've 2000ad'ed up a Dublin city centre boozer, Kennedy's on Pearse St.

I've also added a couple of WIP shots which i thought looked nice.

Thanks to Molch-R for permission (I've called one of my citiblocks after you, not that it's a huge honour for an actual member of the house of Tharg).

Here's my contribution to the advent calendar. Not terribly festive I'm afraid, but I've been making animated gifs of the classic creator droid profiles drawn by Robin Smith. Turns out there were less of these than I'd imagined (couldn't find one for Mills, Wagner or Grant). Had planned to do a few more, but turned out to be quite time consuming.

Made these far too big and have shrunk them down so hopefully they'll load...

Maximum thrills

The FQP WINTER SALE & COMPETITION!

Win! FUTURESHOCK- The Story of 2000 AD


Review by Richmond Clements, used with kind permission of the FPI Blog.

2000 AD has been a part of comic's history since the far of days of 1977. This documentary, now available on DVD and on streaming services, tells of the birth, near death and renaissance of the title.
It does a fantastic job of setting up the historical context of 2000 AD, with news footage from the time. Strikes, riots, recession and punk rock. Nothing at all like today, of course.

From this cauldron of anger and frustration 2000 AD emerged, steered by the indefatigable Pat Mills. As the founder of the feast, Mills gets the lion's share of screen time here, and he makes the most of it. It's well known that Mills has had some shaky relationships with publishers and editors in the past, and true to form, he doesn't hold back here. That is not to say that this is film a soapbox for Mills. I'm not going to go into details about these feuds here. I shall only say that all sides get to make their point.

The film makers have managed to get interviews from an impressive amount of creators. The only noticeable absence being a certain bearded resident of Northampton, but I suspect he has said all he needs to say about the comic many times over. The Halo Jones baton is taken up by Neil Gaiman (who has written a total of 10 pages for the comic, so he just about scrapes in as a script droid!). He recounts how Moore told him the rest of the saga, and that it would have been great – but I think we knew that already!

A vast amount of material was recorded for this – in a recent 2000 AD podcast, director Paul Goodwin said his first cut came in at something like five hours! And oh how I would love to see that version. As it is, there are a great many superb and entertaining stories told.

I have just realised I have barely mentioned the interviewees. Put it this way: think of an artist or writer who has worked for the comic. They're probably in there. Everyone from those involved right at the beginning, Mills, Wagner, Bolland, Gibbons, to the very newest crop of droids, such as Emma Beeby, get a word in. We also get comments from some super fans – screenwriter Alex Garland and Scott (Not) Ian from Anthrax are amongst those featured.  And these interview pieces are intercut with some terrific animations of iconic 2000AD moments.

I cannot praise this film enough. It is an important and amazingly constructed piece of work. This is absolutely required viewing for any comic fan.


Thanks to the kind folks at METRODOME we have 3 copies of the DVD to give away as well as a signed 'Quad' poster measuring (according to the internet) 30 inches by 40 inches! just like the one pictured Above. 

To be in with a chance at either the poster AND a DVD or one of the other two DVD's simply buy comics from FQP.

For all sales between now and the end of January 2016 we'll send you a raffle ticket. Each comic bought is a single raffle ticket so the more you buy the more likely you will win. Also, the winners will have the costs of their purchases refunded.

To also help with this, all FutureQuake & Something Wicked apart from the latest issues are going to be priced at £1.50 for the duration. Simply get in touch with us here at FQP with an order (for the competition please do not use the shop) and we'll even combine any postage too.

The email to use is: futurequakepress AT googlemail DOT com

So, now is the time to fill the gaps in your collection, or even start a new one. All comics currently available are listed HERE.  (http://www.futurequake.co.uk/shop.php)

Well, the Mighty Megabus finishing off an amazing body of work on a high here, he's certainly been the stand out of the many Advent Calendar heroes this year (though he'll hate me for saying it!)

I'd like to thank everyone that has contributed this year, be it with actual content or simply by leaving comments, every little helps spread festive Thrillpower!

Now, over to the Pros! I have to say, I gave the artists very little notice this year (on account of me being a bit shit) and they've still managed to pull it out of the bag! I'll post in the order I received them - prepare for Thrill Power Overload!!!

First up, this beauty from the amazing Jake Lynch...

 

Next, the Mighty Ben Willsher claims he didn't have time to draw anything but did find these old issues of Look-In :)



Next up, Mr PJ Holden with a cracking Dredd!



The always lovely Simon Davis kindly sent this sketch for an unused Slaine cover...



Followed quickly by the brilliant Steve Yeowell with this great Zenith...



Next, Ryan Brown whipped up this little 'sketch...'



The Mighty Mr MacNeil sent this little cutie, which is just lovely...



And finally, for now, Dave Kendell sent this chilling bastard - to quote Dave "Phobia and Nausia battening down for a Christmas Dinner - quite festive I think!"



Amazing! Again, I'd like to thank all artists for so generously giving up their time! There may well be more as the day goes on. Remember, it's free for all day too, so if anyone wants to contribute, go for it!

A very, very Merry Christmas to you all. Here's to a Zarjaz 2016!

It's CHRISTMAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS.....!!
All the best to my fellow Squaxx!

Hope you all have a zarjaz Christmas and an awesome New Year!

Hi there, Dash fans.  I had lots of ideas but no time so here's my one and only this time round.

Dash Jr, AKA Ben, created a Rogue Trooper skin in Minecraft, thus doubling the Decent count.

A final treat from the mighty  is a teaser for a strip he is currently hard at work on for Zarjaz.

Thanks for putting this together Megabus. (http://dbroughton.blogspot.co.uk/Megabus%5B/url)

Finally from team Zarjaz we present...




Thanks to Pete for arranging this once again, all the Squaxx and droids for joining in, but most of all Tharg. Without his verdant majesty this would be a poorer world. Grud bless us, every one.

WOW! Amazing artwork from the pro's.  Here is my last contribution for this year.
A look at the pencils and roughs for Bad Crop which has been posted on my blog.
