Zenith


this started off as a comment in reply to one of Ian’s posts but it got too long
Ian will be waiting a long time. Zenith books 1-5 (actually the first 3 parts of the story, parts 2 and 3 were split into 2 books each due to length) were released through Titan (like most of 2000AD’s stories) from ’88 to ’90 but have never been re-published. However, as far as I know, the fourth and final part (which I’m guessing is what Ian has been reading) has never been released in a collected form. The only way to get any of the books is via e-bay and it ain’t cheap.

It’s a shame because it was one of the first attempts at subverting the superhero genre in a mainstream publication. It was also the first major collaboration between Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell who went on to create The Invisibles. However our evil webmaster is welcome to borrow book one (it’s the only one I’ve got).
