Zot!

Scott McCloud’s Zot! is a vibrant, all-ages superhero series from HarperCollins that originally launched in the 1980s but was collected and revived in 2008. Written and drawn entirely by McCloud, the book follows the adventures of a cheerful, dimension-hopping hero from a utopian alternate Earth who befriends a cynical Earth girl. Its blend of lighthearted action, sharp character work, and McCloud’s clean, expressive cartooning made it a cult favorite, standing as a thoughtful, optimistic counterpoint to the grim superheroes of its era.
