Orlok the Assassin

Few villains in British comics carry the same cold, enduring menace as Orlok the Assassin, who first stalked the pages of 2000 AD back in 1981 — a Bronze Age debut in the UK's most celebrated weekly anthology that launched a presence lasting an extraordinary four decades. With 65 catalogued appearances and three collector-significant key issues to his name, Orlok has proven himself far more than a one-off threat, earning a permanent place in the rich, dystopian universe that 2000 AD has built across the years. He keeps genuinely remarkable company within those pages — sharing adventures alongside icons like Judge Dredd, Psi Judge Anderson, Rogue Trooper, and Johnny Alpha — which speaks volumes about the weight this character carries in Rebellion's sprawling stable of characters. If you're serious about 2000 AD history, Orlok the Assassin is exactly the kind of deep-cut figure whose appearances reward the dedicated collector.
