Zirk

Anyone know of a web site for the old comic character Zirk, from the British comic Warrior? Won the Eagle award at least once?

I wanted to refresh my memory on a couple of things, couldn't find anything in Wikipedia or via google apart from being mentioned in the context of the award. You'd think there'd be a fan site or something.

I was really looking for more of an overview of the character, the technology, etc., with a vague idea of giving him a "walk"-on role in some sort of fanfic. It just seems odd that there's so little on line.

Have you tried the International Hero site?

I think he first appeared in NME's "The Stars My Degradation" by Curt Vile (Alan Moore). Also, bear in mind he was mainly a supporting character to Laser Eraser & Pressbutton. I think he only had one strip of his own.

Let me see. 4 mini-elephant like legs, no eyes, an anti-grav platform, a fetish for avocado puree, and the catch-phrase "I likes what I likes, and what I likes wriggles", or something like that.

Thrashes, not wriggles, I think, but otherwise that's what I remember.

International Hero site?

A most excellent comic character database. Here's a link to Axel Pressbutton. No Zirk though :(
