Thomas then returned to DC and illustrated a comic book authored by Rachel Pollack titled "Tomahawk".
In the late 1990s McGregor and Yeates created a highly regarded Zorro newspaper strip.
In 2001 Yeates illustrated two Universe X specials for Marvel in collaboration with Alex Ross and John Totleben. They're titled �Cap" featuring Captain America, and �Beasts featuring the X-Men. The Paradise X special �Ragnarok", released in 2003 re-tells the story of the fall of the Norse Gods, featuring Thor, Odin, and Loki.
