Who is Tor Cyan?
Emerging from the pages of the legendary British anthology 2000 AD in 1997, Tor Cyan is a Modern Age creation of the celebrated John Wagner and artist Jim Murray — a character born into one of comics' most gloriously anarchic universes. Over a span of fifteen years, Tor Cyan carved out 48 appearances in that iconic weekly, sharing its wild, genre-defying pages with titans like Judge Dredd and the swashbuckling Nikolai Dante. With at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Tor Cyan is the kind of deep-cut 2000 AD discovery that rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into the rich, sprawling world beyond the obvious headliners.

Trivia
- Tor Cyan was never conceived as a standalone property from the start — he cut his teeth as a supporting lead in Mercy Heights, and the subsequent Tor Cyan series was explicitly positioned as a continuation of that run, not a fresh launch.en.wikipedia.org
- John Wagner has written more of Tor Cyan's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 25 issues.
