Episode 215: A Tribute to Alan Grant

The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast returns for a special pre-Christmas episode paying tribute to writer Alan Grant, who passed away in July this year.

In a discussion recorded at New York Comic Con, writer Garth Ennis, editor Dan Raspler, and comics critic Chloe Maveal discuss the impact and legacy of Grant's work, before Ennis reads a personal letter from Grant that reveals the secret origins of Alec Trench!

We then hear a special, never-before-aired interview recorded at the beginning of 2021, in which Grant talks alongside his friend and long-time co-writer John Wagner about how they met, their time working together, and their reflections of their distinguished careers. A not-to-be-missed interview, which was one of Grant's last.
