Future Shock! The Story Of 2000AD

Description

The Internationally Acclaimed Documentary on the Most Controversial and Influential Comic of Our Time! Great Britain, end of the '70s: Thatcher is in power, the Yorkshire Ripper is on the loose, punk rock is on the rise and cruddy comics are widespread. But with the birth of indie upstart 2000AD, fans were introduced to visionary talent like Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison and Mark Millar, and legendary characters that included Rogue Trooper, Halo Jones and Judge Dredd. Yet what happened next to this nihilistic, ultra-violent universe may be the biggest shocker of all. This is the "brilliant" (Flickfeast), "essential" (ScreenAnarchy.com) and "scurrilous" (Empire) story of the galaxy's greatest comic, featuring editors, writers, artists and fans including Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Dave Gibbons, Pat Mills, Alan Grant, Kevin O'Neill, Brian Bolland, Jock, John Wagner, Peter Milligan, Geoff Darrow, Bryan Talbot, Emma Beeby, Carlos Ezquerra, Gary Erskine, Andy Diggle, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Alex Garland, Karen Berger and more. Without 2000AD there would be no Watchmen, no Sandman, no Preacher - as the entire creative core of DC's influential Vertigo Imprint was sourced from the pages of this single, British weekly publication. The influence of this highly literate group of anarchists is still felt today, from Doom Patrol to X-Men and throughout the Batman franchise.
