ZU

Chuck Melville and Roy D. Pounds II brought this 19-issue series from MU Press to life in the mid-1990s, a short-lived but distinctive entry in the indie comics landscape. The series carved its own niche with a blend of surreal adventure and dark humor, anchored by Pounds' bold, expressive art. While it never achieved blockbuster fame, ZU remains a cult curiosity for fans of the era's more idiosyncratic, creator-driven work.
