The main man of British comics,there's a rich heritage of comics and Mills in gathering the talent he did for 2000ad is pivotal in the development of comics worldwide.Legend.
2000ad, for me was the only comic. it was the be all and end all of comics for me as i grew up, myself and my friends followed every issue , the artist were superstars to us, we would discuss the latest issues, and the artwork, i stayed up night after night and copied the drawings, and created my own home made characters. 2000ad was my childhood ! (which im reliving now as an adult) and still means a lot to me. thankyou pat mills & all the rest of the 2000ad team.
Another great Kayfabe and good to see McMahon getting those namechecks from the Master. I've been waiting on the print ed of Spacewarp but gone digital on the back of Mr Mills' enthusiasm which needs to be bottled and sold. I was nine when 2000AD surfaced and of course it shaped my life: all the best to the Spacewarp crew and may it gather true momentum.
The best yet! I grew up with this guy without every knowing his name. 2000AD absolutely transformed UK comics in the late 1970s. It paved the way for so many great writers and artists. It's great to see this guy's anarchic spirit is so very much alive, all these years later. I am indebted to you guys for this interview, amazing stuff!
Fascinating interview! Pat clearly knows his target audience and hearing him talk his strategy for writing a producing comics for that demo is really interesting.
I am ashamed to say that I had never heard of Pat before this video, but a very cool interview. Seems like a real cool guy and I'm heading to Comixology to check SPACEWARP out.
Check out the Private Eye storyline. An obvious Batman expy, but freed from the need to get everything past DC's gatekeepers, so Pat and Kev can show us what they really think of the billionaire who gets his kicks beating up poor people.
So amazing! I love it that he tries so hard to find a market and make comics for that market. The biggest thing for comic book companies today is to hook the young and teen readers.
Great interview. Pat Mills with a lot of interesting stuff to say and the Kayfabe boys are asking him questions and then letting him speak, but contributing themselves when necessary. Well done to them.
Great interview, just letting Pat Mills loose with a few pointer questions is definitely the best way to get good stuff, looking forward to the "paper" version of Spacewarp, hoping for a Space Spinner Pat!?
That Mask/Marshal Law peeking out from the shelf led me to check MyComicShop to confirm it was #2, the last issue I needed to complete my run. They just happened to have it in stock and now it's on its way to me
My electric car is plugged into the computer right now and everytime Pat gets onto the subject of 2000AD it gets a right strong boost of electricity!! 13 minutes in before the subject of pay rates comes up, car already quarter recharged!!! Thanks Pat. {:-)
Great interview. You guys seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was. So much fun. Keep it up. Process videos, interviews, and read through videos, you guys make them all entertaining. Thanks.
Absolutely exceptional interview, in my C.K. top 5** Pat wrote Punisher 2099 with Tony Skinner, I think it is a very underrated comic. **And that's saying a lot you guys have done so many absolute bangers.
Manga is doing great with young readers. Much of the problem with modern western comics is the content, most of the industry is stacked with people more concerned with making political statements than with making entertaining stories (i.e. Marvel with their disastrous New Warriors ideas).
I feel like everyone is saying the comic book industry's nothing but sjw bullshit right now, but I'm finding cool new stuff all the time. I don't really fuck with Marvel and DC though, so that's probably why.
This is the one I’ve been hoping for, pat is responsible for my love of comics 2000 ad and toxic started it all for me. Thanks for this one chaps. pat if you’re reading this, driver was my favourite story in toxic.
If you want a fictionalised, warts and all description of 1970s UK comic publishing (with the names changed to protect the guilty), check Pat's 'Serial Killer' novels.
WITH ROGUE TROOPER COMING WE NEED A SLAINE MOVIE OR PROBABLY A SERIES MIGHT WORK BETTER ... WHO DOESNT WANNA SEE A WARP SPASM AND ROMANS GETTING TWATTED ???!!!
a publisher turned down pat mills and simon bisley team up cause mills didnt have a big enough twitter following? what a TOOL !!!! mills & biz the best team you could have
Being an 80's teenager in the UK, my surrogate Mother was Margaret Thatcher, who routinely abused me and my whole generation in ways that I'd just as soon forget. However, Pat Mills was my surrogate Father, and he inspired my passion for sedition, insurrection and indirectly, LSD. But all in all, I'm a lot more functional than many of my bredrin, some of whom are no longer with us. My only question for Pat is . . . . Why did you make Joe Pineapples cross-dress that time? Now I'm unsure what kind of sex robot I'm attracted to. edit; Am I detecting the influence of Billy Whiz in this inerview, Daddy Pat? ;)
If you're implying that Pat was on speed -- haha! You've clearly never seen him in action before! He's always like that when he gets passionate about the comics industry. Trust me - I'm married to him!
I love how Pat Mills face always looks like it was drawn by John Buscema.
Underrated Comment

Wow Pat Mills!! A true punk rock god of comics!!
He had me at "a cosmic assassin who has escaped from Hell to take vengeance on the living... called Hellbreaker." That's the 2000 AD I know. Sold!

UPDATE: Bought the book and gave it a quick flip-through. It looks awesome, amazing art. Can't wait to give a full read.
Pat Mills' anger always make me feel sane.
It probably shouldn't but I'm not going to analyze that.
Noooooo The Driver in Toxic was just ahead of its time! Pat Mills a true genuine legend! Thank you Kayfabe
this guy was the highlight of that 2000ad doc.
I interview Uncle Pat once a year for the ECBT2000ad Podcast. Pat is an amazing interview and a great guy too.
I remember listening to one - clocked in about 2 hrs - must check the podcast out again
Fantastic interview Pat. So good to read all the amazing comments.
I want to read that Batman Marshal Law crossover NOW!
Check out the Private Eye storyline. An obvious Batman expy, but freed from the need to get everything past DC's gatekeepers, so Pat and Kev can show us what they really think of the billionaire who gets his kicks beating up poor people.
Pat Mills, what a legend!! Excellent episode, thanks guys
So amazing! I love it that he tries so hard to find a market and make comics for that market. The biggest thing for comic book companies today is to hook the young and teen readers.
Great interview. Pat Mills with a lot of interesting stuff to say and the Kayfabe boys are asking him questions and then letting him speak, but contributing themselves when necessary. Well done to them.
Another brilliant interview. This channel is one of the best kept secrets on the internet.
Great interview, just letting Pat Mills loose with a few pointer questions is definitely the best way to get good stuff, looking forward to the "paper" version of Spacewarp, hoping for a Space Spinner Pat!?
Excellent interview. 2 hours just flew by. Pat is a legend :-)
I'm S.E. Ireland......it's 'Slain' of course!!!! Kiss my axe!!
That Mask/Marshal Law peeking out from the shelf led me to check MyComicShop to confirm it was #2, the last issue I needed to complete my run. They just happened to have it in stock and now it's on its way to me

Thanks Pat. {:-)
We're laughing our heads off at this! Warning: your car could EXPLODE if you keep watching!
@@millsverse4292 I had to unplug it around the 140 minute mark, it was over-heating!!!
But good on you for keeping up the fight for creator's rights.
Glad to see that Millsverse is checking the comments. Hope you like all the love and appreciation from us viewers.
Great interview. You guys seemed to be enjoying it as much as I was. So much fun. Keep it up. Process videos, interviews, and read through videos, you guys make them all entertaining. Thanks.
Nice to see he recovered after falling off that roof!
Great interview, guys! I've learned a lot about British publishing, which is more relatable to the fans. I will check out Space Warp.
Such a great interview!
Absolutely exceptional interview, in my C.K. top 5**
Pat wrote Punisher 2099 with Tony Skinner, I think it is a very underrated comic.
**And that's saying a lot you guys have done so many absolute bangers.
The Kevin O'Neill and Alan Moore story that got into trouble was TYGERS, a Green Lantern story.
This is fantastic. Thank you very much for doing this interview.
He’s right about comics taking too long to pay off, no wonder they’re struggling to get young readers, my niece gets bored in 5 seconds.
Manga is doing great with young readers. Much of the problem with modern western comics is the content, most of the industry is stacked with people more concerned with making political statements than with making entertaining stories (i.e. Marvel with their disastrous New Warriors ideas).
Lack of cool art and an abundance of slow, boring stories will do that.
I feel like everyone is saying the comic book industry's nothing but sjw bullshit right now, but I'm finding cool new stuff all the time. I don't really fuck with Marvel and DC though, so that's probably why.
Yes, we’re all correct. The big two and comics in general have many issues.
LET'S GO! when can we start donating?
Great interview. Thank you!
amazing! thanks as always Ed n Jim for this

Pat says he and Tony wanted to mock Joe's super cool by having him cross dress. But it rebounded on them, as it made Joe seem cooler than ever 🤣
