Loner (comics): History and Key Facts

Loner is a British comic character, appearing in strips published by Fleetway Publications. The character debuted in the preview issue of the science fiction anthology Wildcat, included in titles dated 15 October 1988. The character's eponymous strip was one of the four linked ongoing serials in Wildcat, and was continued in Eagle after Wildcat was cancelled. A former mercenary and lone wolf, the self-described Loner puts $20m of his career earnings towards the Wildcat mission in order to leave the doomed Earth. As the crew search for a new planet for colonisation he is assigned to exploration shuttle Wildcat 4. Unlike the other shuttles, which are crewed by teams, Loner's only companion on Wildcat 4 is his custom gun - which he has named 'Babe'.
