It's kind of easy to forget how long Dan Abnett has been writing. Period. I remember reading translations of some his first outing for Marvel Comics around 1996.
Great conversation that flew by thanks to his enthusiasm. As a U.K. comics reader of old, it was equally fascinating to hear about the Marvel U.K. and Toxic stuff. My first encounter with Marshall Law was in Strip, which he mentioned as editing. Top stuff!!!!
Some writers tend to marmelade the zeitgeist in and it just gets so boring when everything is about the same things. Obviously the zeitgeist will have an effect on everyone through osmosis alone, but as far as I've seen it, Mr. Abnett has never made it seem obvious.
Hello, I have a question regarding a story I believe was in 2000 AD. There were two main characters in a mechanical snake, fighting some robotic knights. Does any of that ring a bell regarding the name of the story and where it could possibly be found? Thank you!
Loved his early Sinster Dexter work
Always a challenge getting Dan to talk 🤣 Great to hear all about his journey in comics
The man,the myth,the legend.
An absolute legend! Love both his warhammer and 2000ad work!

He started writing for 2000AD around 1994.
I miss ‘Grey Area’. It was fantastic.
Hell yeah, one of 2000AD's best writers.

Wonderful human being. :)
I lived in Maidstone back in 2015 so hearing his talk about all of these places made me smile!
To be fair, Dan's wiki page reads he was born in Rochdale, but the quick facts section is correct.
