It’s the galaxy’s greatest podcast – The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast brings you more from the worlds of 2000 AD!

With the sad news that comics legend Ian Kennedy has passed away at the age of 89, Molch-R talks with three people who knew Ian both professionally and personally - Martha Julian from the Thought Bubble convention where Ian was a regular guest of honour, Phillip B Vaughan from the University of Abertay, and Mark Seddon, who worked to bring Ian's work to the masses. They discuss the life, work, and legacy of an artist whose career spanned seven decades.

On a brighter note, Molch-R also announces the star-studded online convention to celebrate 45 years of 2000 AD. The Galaxy's Greatest: 2000 AD at 45 is being held online on 26 and 27 March. For more info, go to 2000AD.com

A Tribute to Ian Kennedy

Perhaps the most popular 2000 AD artist of all time, Brian Bolland’s clean-line style and meticulous attention to detail has ensured that his artwork on strips including Dan Dare, Future Shocks, Judge Dredd and Walter the Wobot looks as fresh today as it did when first published. It was this highly detailed style that saw him go on to global acclaim as the artist on Camelot 3000 and Batman: The Killing Joke for DC Comics.

ST33-V is joined by critic and podcaster Chris Sims to discuss Bolland's incredible career, which began its sharp tragectory in the pages of 2000 AD.

2000 AD's Rats of NIMH or Watership Down? – In Orbit Every Wednesday

Why hasn't John Wagner been inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame? Molch-R and KLO-E ask the question that should baffle anyone who's read some of his incredible back catalogue ... before they dive into why Wagner's skill with comedy is one of the defining elements that has made his work so enduring, from 'The Bogie Man' to 'The Balls Brothers' and the dark strain of humour that runs through 'Judge Dredd'.

Leading on from last week's episode about comedy and with the international situation far from ideal, they decide to go the other way by examining this epic of post-nuclear devastation and asking whether its writing and art can deliver something like hope in dark times?
