The Great Dante Readthrough

A fascinating Director’s commentary of sorts about the epic 2000AD series Nikolai Dante. No detail left unexplored! But also it’s light and fun, much like the series itself.

Why did I only given it four stars? Because unfortunately the vast majority of the human race will never have heard of Nikolai Dante and this this podcast will have little value to them. But to those of us who have, this is our directors cut. Artist Simon Fraser provides insights into the story and making of one of the best series to appear in the 46 year history of 2000ad, the galaxy’s greatest comic. If for nothing else than it’s prompted me to read the strip in full, this has been a great discovery. Highly recommended for fans of “Dikolai” as Simon’s wife often referred to our lovable rogue.

Fantastic insights, charismatic chat. As a BIG fan of the wonderful series this is a delight. If you want to learn why, listen and read along. You won’t regret it. Colin.ynwa

What a great podcast and a great excuse to re-read a classic 2000ad story. Can’t wait for more.
