Recently U.K. artist 17th & Oak created a spectacular cover for 2000 AD’s latest release,  “2000 AD Regened Prog 2356.”  17th & Oak is known for his perspective led illustrations and his style REALLY shines on this cover.  Pete, (17th & Oak’s alias) is a MASSIVE fan of 2000 AD and this collaboration has been a long time on his bucket list.

He recently did an interview with 2000 AD talking about this project and here is a bit of what he had to say.

17th & Oak: This is my first professional venture into comic covers and wow… what a start, 2000 AD!

2000 AD has been a solid part of my life since my childhood in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. It was my uncle who got me into comics. He loved the British comic scene and was an avid collector of 2000 AD.

I remember him having boxes full of Progs in the cupboard under the stairs. After telling me one day about 2000 AD he said that I could borrow his collection. As you can imagine my excitement was like a kid in a sweet/toy/comic shop at Christmas with an endless amount of cash! The only thing was that I could only take one box at a time. For the next year or so I was always seen carrying around a big brown box of 2000 AD Progs. It was a funny sight seeing a small kid lugging round a big box of comics like it was my pet. Whenever I was in the car I’d be sat in the passenger seat with my current 2000 AD box in the footwell and my head buried in the comic.

It was the comic equivalent of binge-watching. Once I’d finished an issue, I’d put it to the side and grab the next one of the top and once I’d finished a box it was back to the source for a fresh new pile of escapism.

As you can tell, 2000 AD holds such fond memories for me so getting to work on a cover is a dream come true and an absolute honor.

The piece I’ve created has been received so well and I’ve been made to feel very welcome in the comic world by the fans.
