Zot! #10 1/2

Zot! #10 1/2 (1985) is a rare, self-contained snapshot of the indie comics scene, capturing the creative spark between writer Scott McCloud and artist Matt Feazell during a pivotal moment in the minicomic era. With Feazell handling both interior art and cover pencils/inks, the issue offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how McCloud navigated the high-pressure world of small-press comics—thanks in part to Feazell’s hands-on involvement and the low barrier to entry that defined the era.
