82: 2000AD with Patrick Freyne

Patrick Freyne, features journalist for The Irish Times, joins us to talk about the big weird uncle of British comics, 2000AD. We talk about British comics vs US comics, the wild experimentalism of 2000AD’s artwork, and the influence of 2000AD’s sense of humour, along with Smash Hits and Viz, on a generation of writers.
