2000 AD: The Deep Dive returns with a flourish, a mint julip, and a quick nap before dinner – it's 2000 AD's own gay vamire exorcist, Devlin Waugh!

This month, ST33V is joined by critic, academic and podcaster Anna Peppard to chat about this charming occult investigator, worldwide celebrity, and full-time vampire, who was one of the first openly gay characters in British comics. The invention of writer John Smith (Indigo Prime) and artist Sean Phillips (Criminal), Devlin is best described as a mix of Noel Coward and Arnold Schwarzenegger, he is a witty and verbose character, who tracks down rare art pieces in between dispensing justice on otherworldly and demonic foes. He enjoys both body-building and flower arranging, and is one of the most famous (and lusted-after) gay celebrities in the world.

Three collections of classic Devlin are available from all good book and comic book stores, as well as online and from the 2000 AD webshop, and digitally from the 2000 AD webshop and app!

Broadcasting the second Saturday of every month, 2000 AD: The Deep Dive heads into the archive of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic to explore forgotten classics and hidden gems! Discover your new favourite comic with our fantastic new monthly show!
