Zapman

Zapman crackled onto the scene in 1999, born from the creative sparks of Brian Michael Bendis and Scott Morse in Clerks: The Lost Scene, and quickly found a home in the wonderfully offbeat AAA Pop universe. Over a run stretching more than two decades, this character became a recurring presence in titles like The Atomics and the landmark Madman Library Edition, sharing pages with the likes of Madman, Frank Einstein, and the colorful cast that defines that corner of indie comics. Twenty-two years of appearances is no small feat for a character from the scrappy, imaginative fringes of the Modern Age, and the company Zapman keeps — beloved cult figures all — speaks to a genuine place in that world. For fans of indie comics with personality to spare, Zapman is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
