Description
After the abrupt end of his childhood rivalry with the vanished Zim, Dib's sanity becomes increasingly unstable, convinced that his nemesis has gone to reconvene with the impending Irken Invasion. His teenage years are spent on a cocktail of medications and with an army of therapists before he calms and accepts that everything he remembered of Zim and the Paranormal were just inventions of his own mind created to distract himself from the loss of his mother. He focused on his studies and 'real science', Professor Membrane giving his son a position at his lab where he could make himself useful and keep himself occupied.

One evening the Professor takes his son aside and takes him down to one of the highest security, deepest underground basement levels and offers his son an apology. The Government had released a top secret project to his laboratories a week ago; a captured alien life-form. Dib is shown a small green alien suspended in a bubbling, liquid-filled specemin capsule with myriad electronic sensors, tubes, wires and pipes inserted into it's flesh and a long, surgical-stapled incision running up it's belly and chest. Professor Membrane explains that he would like to offer the project to Dib by way of an apology for not taking his childhood aspirations in good humour or really being there as a father figure at all. He also stresses that although aliens are obviously real (now supported be physical scientific evidence) that it doesn't mean that Dib really went to school with an alien and that he should keep on taking his medications like a good lad.

Dib recognized the alien as the long-lost Irken Invader Zim. On the way home to his apartment in his car, Dib is listening to a rock music station that plays the occasional 'retro classic'; this evening it's Bryan Adam's 'Summer of 69'. As Dib sits there in traffic listening to the lyrics, he realises that when he looks back now, at school when Zim validated his beliefs and gave him something to channel his inventive genius towards; those were the best days of his life. He decides that Zim really was the closest thing he'd ever had to a real friend, and that seeing his childhood buddy mangled by exploratory vivisection makes him feel angry.

He decides that he's going to release Zim; beginning a whole new set of adventures.

Just a little comic concept with art

ZADR fans should check out the lyrics to Catatonia's "Mulder and Scully" on Youtube; its Dib-tastic.

Also, check out the video to PAIN's "Shut your mouth"; particuarly the conversation at the end. It's like realism ZADR, if it were set in Sweden.
