The rise and fall of Zero Assassin

One of the most popular anti-heroes to come out of Australian comics in the '90s was a character named Zero Assassin. Originally published in a cyberpunk anthology named Issue One, Zero was the lovechild of comic creator Sam Young. Eventually he was published in his own comic series but unfortunately not long after, the business went bust.


During this time, I came on board as editor of a Zero Assassin anthology, which involved 12 artists and writers teaming up to create 3-page stories about Zero Assassin. The comic was aptly titled, 'Zero to the power of twelve'. The creators involved produced some fantastic work for the book but alas it never saw the light of day, as Issue One comics folded soon after.


Which brings me to my 3-page contribution for the comic. I advise before even reading this short story, that you quickly read up on the character, here. Even then, unless you're a fanatical Zero fan, this text heavy piece is gonna be hard to follow. So just enjoy the pretty pictures...
