Leah Moore and John Reppion are no strangers to “2000 AD.” Both writers grew up reading the legendary British anthology and both are contributing to its sister publication “Judge Dredd Megazine” next month with “Tales from the Black Museum: Scouting for Bots.” Oh, and Leah’s father happens to be one of “2000 AD’s” greatest writers of all time, Alan Moore. Reppion and the younger Moore have been writing comics together for nearly a decade with projects at “Judge Dredd Megazine,” Dynamite Entertainment and a new Sherlock Holmes book all in the works. The pair has also written comic book adaptations of “Dr. Who,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and “Dracula” as well as the WildStorm series “Albion.”
Joining them on “Scouting for Bots” is artist Matt Brooker, better known to the comics community as D’Israeli. “Scouting Bots” is a 9-page black and white story debuting in “Judge Dredd Megazine” #322, which comes out this month in the UK and next month in North America.
Moore and Reppion spoke exclusively with CBR News about “Scouting for Bots,” “2000 AD,” how becoming parents has affected their writing, and what they think about “Before Watchmen.”
