The Dome: Ground Zero is a one-shot graphic novel published in 1998 under the short-lived DC Comics imprint Helix. Written and laid out by Dave Gibbons and illustrated by Angus McKie, The Dome used computer-rendered graphics to augment the latter's illustrations. Despite suffering by its association with the poorly received Helix line, The Dome won praise both for the high quality of its art and for its well-constructed storyline[1] set in the south Pacific waters of a recognizably contemporary Earth environment, replete with the conflicting ideologies of US techno-military forces and Christian fundamentalist eco-warriors.
