Skizz was a comic strip in 2000 AD which appeared in three installments across more than a decade. It was written by Alan Moore and drawn by Jim Baikie. Two sequels appeared some years later, written and drawn by Baikie.

Plot[edit]

Skizz, an alien interpreter, crash lands on Earth and his ship self-destructs to stop it from falling into the wrong hands. He is saved from the military (led by a thuggish South African named Van Owen - an apparent reference to Warren Zevon's Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner) - by a young girl called Roxy.
