"Prolific" doesn't really seem to cover the career of writer Dan Abnett – from decades of writing for 2000 AD to his prominent work for Marvel UK, Marvel and DC, and bestselling novels for the Warhammer 40K universe, his career has been marked by both quantity and quality.

Dan returns to the The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast for a retrospective on his career (so far) and he talks to Molch-R about deadlines, managing creativity, slow-burn storytelling, the changing face of the industry, and coming up with endless puns.

This episode is not for the nervous! At least that's what Ghastly McNasty, the editor of 'Scream!' might claim! With a brand new hardcover collection publishing all the stories from the 1980s horror comic in order out in May, the Thrill-Cast talkes to its editor Ian Rimmer, sub-editor and writer Simon Furman, and 'SFX' editor and 'Scream!' reader Darren Scott about the history of the short-lived title and its enduring influence.

And if Hogwarts is the posh magical school, where do the comprehensive pupils go? We gain an education in conjuration with 'Lowborn High' writer David Barnett and artist Mike Walters, talking about the all-ages series that's getting its first collection.

From "gifted child" to million-selling comic artist, Liam Sharp's artistic journey has been one of high hopes and hard work. Beginning his career as an apprentice of legendary The Rise & Fall of The Trigan Empire artist Don Lawrence, Sharp went on to debut at 2000 AD while still in his teens and co-create the precocious homocidal teenager PJ Maybe, before his work saw him propelled to stardom in the comics boom of the 1990s. The Thrill-Cast sits down for a long talk with Sharp following his move back to Britain from the US, discussing his feelings about his career, mental health, his time working with Lawrence, and where he is now.
