Mick McMahon - The Thrill-Cast Supplemental, Part 2

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast talks more with the groundbreaking artist about his work beyond Judge Dredd - including Sláine and ABC Warriors - and beyond the pages of 2000 AD. Throughout, Mick remains a humble and self-effacing artist, chatting openly about his struggles with the demands of his work. We discuss Batman, Alien Legion, Toxic!, and much, much more.

Brighton Comic Con 4-5 Jun’16: Classic Dredd - Mick McMahon

Finally, one of the reasons that I went to the Brighton Con this year was to catch up with th’ main McMahon - Mick, of course!

I met Mick for the first time at last year’s FCBD in Forbidden Planet, London (2015), but before I managed to get his autograph he had left as quickly as he had appeared - would I ever get his autograph again, never mind a sketch?!

So, it was with a spark of hope in my circuits that not only did I get Mick’s autograph, but a cracking Judge Dredd pencil sketch, too - zarjaz!

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast Supplemental: Mick McMahon, Part 1

A seminal Judge Dredd artist and a towering figure in British comics, Mick McMahon is a remarkably humble and down-to-earth artist.

Originally brought in to mimic co-creator Carlos Ezquerra’s style on Dredd’s first stories, he went on to develop his own unique style and was responsible for the ‘big boots’ look of Dredd’s outfit as well as many iconic covers and key moments for the future’s greatest lawman.

He also brought new and inventive styles to Sláine and Ro-Busters before going on to co-create the incredible The Last American. The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast sits down for a two-part interview with one of the greatest 2000 AD artists of all time.

His sister Fran Harris announced the sad news on Facebook…
