Ink & Imagination 010: Revolution in Panels — The Rise of 2000 AD
Welcome to Ink & Imagination, brought to you by Those Two Geeks.
By the late 1970s, British comics were collapsing under the weight of outdated heroes and hollow authority figures. Out of that cultural wreckage came 2000 AD; a science-fiction weekly that rejected obedience, embraced satire, and spoke directly to a generation raised on distrust.
In this episode, we trace the birth of 2000 AD from the ashes of Action and the decline of traditional boys’ weeklies, exploring how Pat Mills and a new wave of creators weaponized science fiction to critique authoritarianism, policing, and power itself. From the arrival of Judge Dredd to the anthology’s role as a proving ground for future legends like Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Garth Ennis, this is the story of how a punk-era comic rewired British comics – and changed the medium forever.
