Ink & Imagination 011: Across the Atlantic — The British Invasion of American Comics

Posted on by

Welcome to Ink & Imagination, brought to you by Those Two Geeks.

In this episode, Ink & Imagination traces how the rebellious storytelling ethos of 2000 AD crossed into the U.S. and permanently reshaped American comics. From Karen Berger’s pivotal role in opening the door, to Alan Moore’s seismic reinvention of the medium, and the rise of voices like Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, and Garth Ennis, this is the story of how satire, political anger, and literary ambition collided with superheroes.

We explore how the British Invasion dismantled old assumptions about heroism, authority, and morality – and how its influence led to Vertigo, darker storytelling trends, backlash, and ultimately a transformation the industry could never undo.

This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s the story of how comics learned to question themselves.
