Zenith in Full Colour

In Berlin, 1945, the Allies unleashed Maximan to take on the German super soldier Masterman. Maximan's defeat was only kept secret by the nuclear bomb that destroyed both men.

Forty-plus years later, and twenty years after a generation of '60s British superpowered heroes came and went, the teenage pop star Zenith is the only superhuman left. His only interests – women, drugs, alcohol and fame. He is contacted about the threat from the many-angled ones and the impending destruction of our world. His first reaction is to steer well clear. But the superhumans of the past have other plans…

Seeing Zenith in Colour for the First Time

Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell's ground-breaking superhero odyssey is back and presented for the first time in full colour. The original run of the beloved 2000 AD classic series was made up of four stories. Only the final of these was published in colour. For this new edition, Books 1-3 have been freshly coloured by acclaimed new talent JP Jordan (Sink Your Teeth In). It offers a new take on one of 2000 AD's most acclaimed stories!

Follow the bratty Zenith as he finds himself embroiled in dangers from all sides. Not that he's paying huge amounts of attention to what's going on. German supersoldiers. Extradimensional threats. And through it all, there are still girls to chase and charts to top.

Zenith is one of 2000 AD's only ventures into the familiar world of superheroes. It carries their distrust of that entire genre. These heroes aren't out to help us. They're just out for themselves. How can Zenith and his ragtag clutch of allies, including psychic conservative politician Peter St John and drunk firebrand Red Dragon, possibly save the country from the gravest threats it has ever faced?
