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

Plot

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.
