117: The Trigan Empire

I'm joined by one of Tharg's top art-droids Chris Weston to discuss a fabulous new collection of The Trigan Empire by Mike Butterworth and Don Lawrence. We discuss Lawrence's superlative work and his lasting legacy as a great artist, mentor and teacher.

Get your copy of this wonderful book from the 2000AD store. And look out for those concept art pieces that Chris produced for a television version of Trigan Empire that never got to the screens.
