It was written by John Smith, with art by Paul Marshall. Publication historyFirekind came about as part of the "Spring Fever" promotion at 2000 AD after a change in distribution saw a big drop-off in sales.[1] The assistant editor Alan McKenzie had contacted John Smith and suggested he might want to write a story involving dragons to make up for the lack of fantasy in the comic. According to Smith: {{bquote|when I started to think about it, I realised what a naff proposition the whole thing was. I'd read a few Anne McCaffrey books and she'd pretty much got the whole dragon thing sewn up, so I didn't want to do a rehash of that. I always try to come at things from a different angle, see it from a different perspective, so I though I'd write it as a hard SF story instead.[2]}}The story was originally serialised in 2000 AD from issues #828 to #840. Part 7, however, which should have appeared in issue #834, was accidentally omitted. According to John Tomlinson, another assistant editor: {{bquote|This was born out of the usual tight deadlines we had on 2000 AD and the original art being kept in the same place as already used pages. Somehow one episode got lost in the mix.[2]}}Paul Marshall spotted the error but the production staff were running sufficiently far-ahead that they were putting together issue #839 and the missing episode had to be run after the final installment.[2] The story was entirely reprinted in its proper order in 2000 AD Extreme Edition #8 (2005). Plot synopsisThe self-contained story concerns a human xeno-botanist named Larsen who travels to the alien jungle planet Gennyo-Leil whose atmosphere is a toxic hallucinogen. Though he initially gains the inhabitants' trust, his mission is compromised by the arrival of a merciless gang of mercenary poacher / torturers. But Gennyo-Leil is not without defences... James Cameron's Avatar has a number of similarities with Firekind.[3][4]Notes1. ^Bishop (2007) pages 158-159 2. ^1 2 Bishop (2007) pages 159 3. ^{{cite web|first=Eddie |last=Lazer |url=http://www.heavy.com/movies/sci-fi-movies/2010/01/did-avatar-completely-rip-off-an-obscure-british-comic-called-firekind/ |title=Did Avatar Completely Rip Off An Obscure British Comic Called Firekind? |publisher=Heavy.com |date=January 28, 2010 |accessdate=October 13, 2013 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120603203357/http://www.heavy.com/movies/sci-fi-movies/2010/01/did-avatar-completely-rip-off-an-obscure-british-comic-called-firekind/ |archivedate=June 3, 2012 |df= }} (Archived by WebCite® at ) 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.heavy.com/movies/sci-fi-movies/2010/01/avatargate-the-case-for-the-prosecution/ |title=Avatargate: The Case for the Prosecution |last=Lazer |first=Eddie |date=29 January 2010 |publisher=Heavy.com |accessdate=13 October 2013 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140815055814/http://heavy.com/movies/sci-fi-movies/2010/01/avatargate-the-case-for-the-prosecution/ |archivedate=15 August 2014 |df= }}.
