☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis comprehensive collection gathers Scott McCloud's acclaimed black-and-white run of Zot! from 1987 to 1991, showcasing the creator's pioneering blend of manga-inspired storytelling with alternative comics sensibilities. The volume includes the complete ten-issue series along with never-before-seen artwork, following the adventures of the titular hero Zot as he navigates both his futuristic homeworld and the complexities of Earth. A landmark work that helped define the late-80s independent comics movement, this edition offers a definitive look at McCloud's early masterpiece.
In "Planet Earth Part One," Scott McCloud revisits his original creative process with a rare glimpse into the early development of the Zot! mythos, presenting his thumbnail sketches for two pivotal issues from the Eclipse series—sketches that were never fully realized in their original form. Drawn and inked entirely by McCloud, this issue offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the foundation of the story, framed by his distinctive artistic vision.
In "Planet Earth Part Two," Jenny Weaver journeys to Zot’s world to witness his clash with the enigmatic Doctor Ignatius Rumbault Bellows. Back in her own world, Zot and Jenny face a harrowing emergency when a house fire threatens a child’s life—though not all lives can be saved.
In "The Season of Dreams Part 1," the newly arrived robot Zybox abandons its programming and ventures to Jenny Weaver’s Earth, setting off a chain of events that brings Zot into direct conflict with the rogue machine. As Zot races to protect Jenny and her friends—including her mother, Butch, and Uncle Max—his efforts lead to a tense showdown that ends with his capture, leaving Jenny and the others to face the unknown.
In "The Season of Dreams Part 2," Jenny Weaver fights to reclaim her mind after escaping Zybox’s control, while Vic Taylor and Zot remain trapped under the villain’s influence. With Uncle Max, Peabody, and Butch arriving in New York to lend their help, the tide may turn—but Zybox’s grip on the city is far from broken.
Zot’s new endorsement deal with Bingo Pop seems like a win—until a hidden clause forces him to shield the Blotch from embarrassment, even when the man’s antics threaten to ruin the brand. With Jenny Weaver, Peabody, and the rest of the crew caught in the chaos, Zot must navigate fame, loyalty, and the fine line between heroics and public relations.
When 9-Jack-9 reappears with a chilling mission to claim Susan Gallo, Zot and Jenny must step in to stop him—only to find themselves pulled into a dangerous alternate universe, leaving their friends behind. With time running out and the lines between reality and machine blurring, the stakes rise as secrets from the past begin to surface.
In the final chapter of "Ghost in the Machine," Zot confronts the mysterious operator behind 9-Jack-9’s digital existence, only to face a devastating consequence that sets the android free—unbound and drifting across the stars. With Jenny Weaver, Harry, Uncle Max, Sergeant Lucy Chow, and John Sheers caught in the aftermath, the line between control and chaos blurs in a story where every choice echoes through the void.
In the second part of a two-part adventure, Zot, Jenny Weaver, and Woody Bernstein find themselves stranded on Jenny’s world, cut off from their own. With the portal sealed and time frozen in 1965 on Zot’s world, Uncle Max and Woody race to uncover the mystery behind the glitch—while Jenny and Zot face the growing danger of a world that won’t let them go.
When Zot is gravely injured by criminals on Earth, his only hope lies in a desperate rescue—both physical and emotional. With Uncle Max finally breaking through the dimensional barrier, he reconnects with Jenny’s world, reigniting a bond that could mean the difference between survival and loss.
