Zirk

[ffutures]

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.

Zirk the Devo was a small, rugby ball-shaped (and sized) quadruped. He had no facial features. Come to think of it, you couldn't tell which end was which. He also had a very small set of wings located midway along his dorsal surface.

Zirk most commonly was seen on a small anti-gravity transport, somewhat similar to the Mekon's chair. It was presumably controlled by his thoughts as it sometimes came to his rescue.

His sexual preferences are legendary. As he said: "I like what I like, and what I like THRASHES!!" He did have thing for long limbs (never mind tentacles), bondage and lubrication. However, the exact details were sually censored. Although women found him disgusting at first, those who suffered his attentions fell in love with him.

It should be noted that Zirk was the last of his race. He had had them assassinated in order that he could reproduce his race in his own image, either by cloning or asexual budding (there weren't that many details). He first appeared in the Axel Pressbutton strip in Warrior, but had a few solo adventures - notably "Zirk - Devo of the Future", as well as "Zirk meets Noctopulis the Night Squid" in one of the A1 anthologies.

Hope this helps.
