Zenith superhero Red Dragon returns for his first solo 2000 AD series

- WORDS: STEPHEN JEWELL

A RARE FORAY INTO SUPERHEROES for the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, Zenith has only sporadically appeared in 2000 AD over the past few decades. The strip's main man is nowhere in sight, but Welsh superhero Red Dragon (who debuted in 1987's prog #535) is now spinning off into his own series by writer Rob Williams and artists Patrick Goddard and Steve Yeowell, who co-created Zenith with Grant Morrison. Despite quickly dying at the hands of Nazi super-soldier Masterman, the pyrokinetic hero made a particularly big impression on readers from South Wales like the young Williams.
