Soak Up Some Serious Surreality In 'The Zaucer of Zilk' #1 [Preview]
Comic wizards Brendan McCarthy and Al Ewing's original 2000 AD tale of a magical man and his realm-saving exploits is headed back to comic stores as a standalone two-issue miniseries this Wednesday in The Zaucer of Zilk #1 from IDW and Rebellion Publishing. The 30-page first installment introduces readers to an initially amnesia-addled mortal who ascends to a magical realm by way of candy and reclaims his title as the eternal Zaucer... with the help of a both literally and figuratively colorful cast of fantastical characters. Unfortunately for the fame-powered immortal *****, not everyone is pleased with his return and he must contend with an evil sorcerer who is after his wand. It's the kind of comic that might've helped a teenage Voldemort mellow out, man.
