when keyed it gives 28v of bias but it also gives .500 mils of idling current.
with a second zener in series at 58v it drops down to 100 mils.

First of all, no load voltages are meaningless. What is the loaded voltage? 

I assume the decimal point in front of the 500 mils is a typo, right?

Without digging out the curves, I'd say the numbers look about right. Why do you
think something is wrong?
