Anyone who grew up in
Britain in the '70s and '80s will be aware of 2000AD the comic. This
documentary does a great job in reminding you how big is was back then.
To condense it
greatly, it can be summarised as "Fuck the Tories, let's get pissed and
try and get kids to think about the world."
If you ask me, that's
a life well spent.
There is, thankfully,
much more detail to the story than that, and it's told in a very entertaining
way. There's some genuine LOL moments, some naked display of ego, shameful admission
of sexism in comics, and a fantastic final line.
If you like comics,
UK history or looking at strange people who draw pictures for a living, this is
definitely worth a go.
