Thrill Power Overload

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thrill Power Overload, or TPO is the title of a series of articles written by David Bishop and serialised in the Judge Dredd Megazine, forming the most comprehensive history of the comic 2000 AD yet written. A similar follow-up feature, Fifteen Years, Creep!, was a history of the Megazine itself. The articles gave details of the way particular strips were created, the various financial and other external pressures the comic had faced, and some behind the scenes gossip.

Rebellion announced on the 20th March 2006 that the collected TPO will be published in 2007.
