Zarjaz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zarjaz is a fanzine for the long running British sci-fi comic 2000 AD. It was started in 2001 by Andrew Lewis and ran for four issues. The fanzine contained comic strips based on various 2000 AD characters and also ran an in-depth interview with writer Alan Moore. There were contributions from established 2000 AD creators like Alan Grant and gave a start to others such as Adrian Bamforth and Simon Spurrier.
Zarjaz was re-launched in 2005 by Colin J Dinnie under the Underfire Comics banner, with whom he had previously edited the small press anthology Rapid Fire. The new run has so far produced three issues but because the first was an "Issue 0" it is numerically only up to two. The new series features colour covers as opposed to the black and white of the original run.
