The Cursed Earth Uncensored and Scream!

The Cursed Earth Uncensored and Scream!

Author: 2000 AD June 29, 2016 Duration: 1:51:08
A mammoth retro special this week as we begin with an interview with Ian Rimmer, editor of Scream! comic, about working in comics in the 1980s, the harzards of censorship, making scary comics for kids that aren't TOO scary, and the forthcoming reprint of Monster by Alan Moore, John Wagner, Alen Grant, Heinzel, and Jesus Redondo.

With the imminent publication of Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Uncensored, we also have a fascinating chat with writer Chris Lowder - aka Jack Adrian - about penning the infamously 'banned' 'Soul Food' episodes, his time at 2000 AD, and what it's like to see The Cursed Earth collected in its entirety for the very first time.

Plus, Tharg the Mighty answers YOUR questions in 'Ask Tharg'!
