Trench", "A.Trench: Man...Myth...or Magic?", "Alec Trench Our Inspiration", A. Trench the Writer's Writer", "Alec Trench Truly Zarjaz", "Alec Trench A Real Brammer", "A. Trench Shakespeare?", "A.

HistoryText | - Alec Trench was a failed scriptwriter for 2000 AD who attempted suicide after getting 1,000 rejection slips from editor Tharg. He chained himself to his typewriter and jumped off a bridge, only to be 'saved' by aliens who wanted a human to experiment on. After a month of torture, Trench tricked the aliens into a death trap and teleported himself back to Earth with the greatest story of his career, but unfortunately materialised in the air above Kings Reach Tower, where 2000 AD had their offices. Tharg printed Alec's story, but he didn't live to see it published after falling over 20 floors. Years later, Alec Trench was eventually resurrected as a zombie.
