Back in March, I was interviewed by the team behind Futureshock! The Story of 2000AD. They were a great bunch to work with and we had a lot of fun.
Some pictures from the day:
Preparing to reveal all on the 2000AD Fleetway film and TV fiasco, back in the 90s – when Strontium Dog was optioned for £1!
They’re already enjoying some anecdotes about past editors. I hope they weren’t secretly recording!
Setting up the hot lights so I dish the dirt – like about the day the 2000AD publisher turned down the poster rights for Star Wars.
Cool questions from Helen prompt me to reveal more. (hint: like the dark years, when they tried to turn it into Loaded, Deadline, Vertigo, or anything other than being true to itself)
Just concluding a rant. It’s amazing how 2000AD creates such passion in all of us. Keep telling yourself “It’s only a comic…It’s only a comic…”
The Futureshock! crew are: Sean Hogan and Helen Mullane (producers), Jim Hinson (executive producer & lighting/camera) and Paul Goodwin (director). Find out more about the documentary project at www.futureshock2000ad.com.

Nevermind the film, I love the office.
Looking forward to this.
We got word of this documentary over at the 2000ad boards the other day and I’m personally very excited about it. Especially now we have the intrigue of wondering quite what you’ve said Mr Mills, about the dark days (as you call them) and all.
Oh and of course its not just a comic, its the Galaxies Greatest Comic, guess that’s why we get so up tight about it… well that and in your case you created the thing!
Hello Pat, seems with me that the link in the end of your article to the internet site is not functioning (yet?),
I have personally subscribed to follow this project a few days ago through this blog: http://futureshock2000ad.blogspot.co.uk/
Can’t wait to see your video contributions!
Thanks for pointing that out, Remy. Hopefully it’s working now.
The link works perfectly now!
Hi Pat, You probably won’t remember me, but back in 1984 I produced artwork for the sum of the parts prog 351 and gorilla warfare (originally Cruise) prog 373 I just wanted to say hello and thanks for the opportunity.
Cheers, Steve. Yeah, it is a dim memory but great to hear from you.
Thanks for replying Pat. I know that you’re a busy guy but I also guess that you like novel concepts. I have a book called FROSTBITE on Amazon/Createspace & Kindle which might be of interest to you. I’ve added its preview URL Hope you don’t mind.
