"Firekind", incredible, thanks! was an itch that needed scratching!

Man, that was such a great comic. great art, story everything! I'll have to get the old 2000ads out of storage.

yeah, it did get totally ripped off by avatar and came out just before james cameron wrote the script in 1994. it should get royalty's! its the pixies-nirvana thing, great original work paves the way for the mainstream sound.

When I was a kid I read this incredible story in 2000ad. it would have been around 1994  but i remember it well. Well enough at least to recognise the uncanny resemberlance that the film 'Avatar' has to it. I know that Avatar has been accussed of plagerism before but I've not seen this comic mentioned. Its possible it was originally by mobius but I'm not sure. I'd love to track it down so any help would be really appreciated. I'm not referring to a french comic called 'wake' by the way. below is a description of what i can remember from the story.

Its about this blond guy (who wears a red outfit and has a bubble over his nose and mouth so he can breath) going down to a planet and befriending the natives. the natives are white with red eyes and mate by drinking fluid from cups that run down their spines. They are very spiritual and in touch with their 'living' planet. Evil humans with bowl hair cuts and a sci-fi/medevil look come to eradicate them an rape the world of resources. After moderate success evil guys get their assess handed to them by natives and aforementioned blond guy. This success comes from the natives attack on the backs of massive dragons. A bit like avitar i think. don't get me wrong, loved the movie but can't believe know one has brought this up!

Any help on tracking down this comics name would be fantastic!
