"Thrill Power Overload", or "TPO" is the title of a book about the history of the British comic "2000 AD" written by David Bishop, one of its editors.

History

The book started life as 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.

The articles gave details of the way particular strips were created, the various financial and other external pressures the comic had faced, and some gossip.

A similar follow-up feature, "Fifteen Years, Creep!", was a history of the Megazine itself.
