Buck Godot – Zap Gun for Hire

Phil Foglio's Buck Godot – Zap Gun for Hire is a single-issue comic from 1986, published by the Donning Company, that introduces readers to a wisecracking, freelance troubleshooter in a far-future universe. Written and drawn entirely by Foglio, this debut issue showcases his signature blend of witty dialogue, intricate cartooning, and playful sci-fi adventure. While a short entry in his bibliography, it stands as a foundational piece of Foglio's early independent work, capturing the energetic, character-driven humor that would define his later, more expansive storytelling.
