Durham Red was originally created in 1987 as a female sidekick and lover for Johnny Alpha in the long-running British comicbook series Strontium Dog. She was a sexy bounty hunter with a mutation that gave her a vampiric lust for blood. Aided by some strong art from Mark Harrison, the series enjoyed a long run. However, in 2004, the final story of the arc was printed, envisioning Durham Red surviving another thousand years, watching over the end of the human race and the beginning of a mutant universe.

| HistoryText
| - The eponymous protagonist of the 2000 AD strip Durham Red was a vampiric mutant bounty hunter, or Strontium Dog. Occasionally teaming up with Johnny Alpha on missions, and also for a time with the late Frinton Fuzz, she was also known as the 'Strontium Bitch'. Durham Red was eventually placed in suspended animation for a millennium, awakening in a universe where she was worshipped as a mythical saint of mutant-kind. She is known to have lived for at least a further thousand years after this, and eventually saw the end of humanity and the rise of a new race of mutants.

| - Durham Red was originally created in 1987 as a female sidekick and lover for Johnny Alpha in the long-running British comicbook series Strontium Dog. She was a sexy bounty hunter with a mutation that gave her a vampiric lust for blood. Durham Red proved popular from her first appearance, and following the death of Johnny Alpha she was given a leading role in the spin-off series Strontium Dogs. Following the departure of writer Peter Hogan, the series was handed to Dan Abnett. Abnett's first action was to place Red in suspended animation and have her awake a thousand years after Strontium Dog continuity, in a universe where she was worshipped as a mythical saint of mutants. Aided by some strong art from Mark Harrison, the series enjoyed a long run. However, in 2004, the final story of the arc was printed, envisioning Durham Red surviving another thousand years, watching over the end of the human race and the beginning of a mutant universe.
