From A to Zippy

From A to Zippy, launched by Penguin in 1991, is a single-issue comic that distills the surreal, deadpan world of Bill Griffith's long-running newspaper strip Zippy the Pinhead into a compact, book-length collection. Featuring Griffith’s distinctive, minimalist art and his signature blend of pop-culture satire and absurdist humor, this title captures the essence of Zippy’s meandering, pinhead-perspective commentary on American life. It matters as a curated, standalone snapshot of one of alternative comics' most iconic and enduring characters, offering newcomers a perfect entry point into Griffith’s idiosyncratic universe.
