Welcome to the twenty-first of The Lockdown Tapes as The 2000 AD Thrill-Cast continues to broadcast the joys of Thrill-power during the COVID-19 pandemic! Got a theme or interview you'd like to hear? Let us know at [e-mail]
From Judge Dredd stories such as Muzak Killer and The Juve Mutated Kung Fu Kleggs to a long stint on Sláine, as well as work on Marvel UK’s Digitek and Wizard of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering card game, Power’s fully-painted work was inspired by 2000 AD artists such as Brian Bolland, Simon Bisley and Glenn Fabry. But a chance recommendation in 1997 saw him move from comics to working on a career in character and production design for TV and film, including films such as on Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, the Harry Potter franchise, Batman Begins, Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate factory, V for Vendetta, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Fantastic Beasts. The Thrill-Cast chats to Power about his career, how to pronounce Tír na nÓg, how lessons he learnt in comics have impacted his work in movies, and how painting onto black paper seemed like a good idea at the time.
The Thrill-Cast is increasing its broadcasts during this difficult time, so make sure you're keeping yourselves and your loved ones safe - and stay tuned for more from the Galaxy's Greatest Podcast!

Great interview, had never heard Dermot speak before, been following his work since Slaine and through to his concept work, big fan. Thank you!

[@gaslight5]

Fantastic to hear Dermot chat so openly about everything, funny to hear someone who is quite clearly a genius in the way he thinks of art and the story it conveys, with the talent to carry it off, talk of all these other genius artists who have not developed anywhere nearly as much as he has. Get him back for a story, he's bloody dying to do it.
Over 20 years since I bought a 2000ad, I must pick up one again.
Don't let these interviews stop after the lock down, this could be something really good

These Lockdown tapes are amazing! Great interview, really getting into Dermot's head and love the added images to give context.

Great interview, love Dermots work in Slaine from years back, would love to see what he would do now with a story after all these years. Is that a original Bisley ABC Warriors page on the wall, lovely.

[@judgefish4044]

2000 AD is the best

[@mettrisscomputeque8238]

Logan's Run is a bit niche and very very old. :-) His doodles are better than any art that I can do! 😀 Agreed, fantastic. I feel like I've learnt so much about art just listening to him 😀

[@DavydWood]

Really interesting and honest interview, good to hear, especially from a non-american perspective.

[@mikexmartinart]

Great interview, one of the best 2000ad artists of the 90s

[@luisandrade2542]
