Zeppelin #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the complete four-issue miniseries Zeppelin, a 1986 science fiction comic from Catalan Communications. The story follows a group of characters aboard a massive airship in a dystopian future, exploring themes of survival and societal collapse.
In "Zeppelin," writer and artist Pepe Moreno crafts a haunting wartime dream sequence set during the Vietnam War, where a lone soldier’s mind fractures under the weight of battle, confronting Epus—the God of War—in a surreal, hallucinatory clash. With every line and stroke drawn by Moreno himself, the story blurs the line between reality and delusion, as the soldier’s final moments unfold beneath bombers marked with the god’s symbol.
In a stark, silent mission rendered in stark detail, a lone kamikaze pilot flies his final, determined course. The story’s quiet intensity gives way to a jarring, unexpected final page: Westernized Japanese children, absorbed in a video game, laugh as they shoot down the very aircraft shown in the preceding pages.
In "The Fix," a stranded alien pilot arrives on Earth to lay to rest a wealthy man near the shattered remains of the Statue of Liberty, only to be taken captive by a band of mutants. Trapped in a surreal, decaying world, he turns to drugs in a desperate bid to escape the memories of his mission and the reality of his isolation.
In the grim darkness of the far future, a fanatical religious knight, having purged a world for heresy, returns to his starship, Inquisitor II, with a new mission: to bring divine judgment to New York on Earth.
In the haze of war-torn Vietnam, a lone soldier, lost and wounded, battles not just enemy forces but a terrifying hallucination of Epus, the God of War. As the line between reality and delusion dissolves, he confronts the divine figure in a desperate, surreal clash—only to meet his end beneath the sky, where American bombers bear the god’s unmistakable mark.
