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

With the 'Blaze of Glory' collection bringing together his lauded Judge Dredd stories out now, we revisit our long chat with hit comics writer Al Ewing from 2018.

Bringing a unique new voice to 2000 AD, his vivid imagination and dark humour-tinged stories quickly established him as one of 2000 AD's most popular writers and a regular on Judge Dredd, where he worked with Si Spurrier and Rob Williams on the hugely successful Judge Dredd crossover epic, Trifecta. With his on-going success with Marvel Comics, Ewing sits down with Molch-R to discuss his beginnings as a writer, his preferred version of 'The Marvel Method', his thoughts on continuity, and whether he's coming back to the Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
