Zipper (Gene Simmon’s…)

(IDW, 2007–2008)
™ and © 2007 Gene Simmons

Tom Waltz, Casey Maloney, and Stacie Ponder translate Gene Simmons’ vision of an alien fugitive in Detroit. In another dimension, a planet is under the rule of a harsh regime. There are no personal freedoms and all rebels face the death penalty. One such rebel manages to escape his trial and jump through a dimensional worm-hole. He ends up in Detroit with a powerful black suit that acts as his life support, translator, and armor. Confronted almost immediately with gang violence, he’s forced to fight back, displaying incredible martial skills and earning the regard of locals, who dub him ‘Zipper.’ How can he remain hidden when he’s also a local legend?
