So pleased the news is out about the @insta2000ad So pleased the news is out about the @insta2000ad Summer Special Michael Carroll and I worked on. We designed the narrative arc with the blessing of Tharg, and co-ordinated with the other writers. We had a Zoom call: 2000 AD writers conferring! Zarjaz! Cover art is by Neil Roberts. First up is ‘Biohazard’ by Mike with artist Ben Willsher (who also colours this piece) and Annie Parkhouse on lettering duty. Then it’s over to Oz for a Chopper story, ‘Dreamgazer’, written by David Baillie and drawn by @tomfosterart It’s coloured by John Charles and lettered by Jim Campbell. Dashing up to Brit-Cit, the next story features Armitage with Devlin Waugh in ‘Natural Fern Killer’, written by @liamjohnsontype and drawn by Robin Smith. This is coloured by @matt_soffe and lettered by Annie Parkhouse. After a long jaunt across the irradiated globe it’s touchdown for a Hondo City Justice tale, ‘Daughters of Uranium’, written by Karl Stock and drawn by Neil Googe. @dylbot2099 colours and @simonbowlandlettering letters. It’s back to The Meg for an Anderson: Psi-Division story, ‘All Will be Judged’, written by me, with art by Anna Morozova, colours by @colormepip and letters by Jim Campbell. And it wraps up out in the Cursed Earth with a Dredd / Anderson story, ‘Apotheosis’. Co-written by Mike and me, with art by James Newell, colours by Jim Boswell and letters by Simon Bowland.
