Item Description

ZOT! was a comic book created by Scott McCloud in 1984,, and published by Eclipse Comics until 1990, as a lighthearted alternative to the darker and more violent comics that dominated the industry during that period. Despite popular and critical acclaim, ZOT! was initially cancelled after 10 issues in July 1985. However, McCloud and Eclipse came up with the idea of switching from color to black-and-white,and the comic was then able to run profitably from January 1987 to July 1991 before McCloud ended the series after a total of 36 issues.

ZOT! featured Jenny Weaver, a normal, sensitive, lonely girl recently relocated to a new town, stumbles across ZOT, a superhero from an alternate world who is chasing a troop of robots in pursuit of a key that will open a door hanging out in space! Jenny and her brother Butch return with ZOT to his homeworld (where he is a hero) and they retrieve the key and take it to the authorities . . . but it is stolen again.

Eventually their pursuit leads them to Sirius IV, a drab theocratic planet, and home of the key. While there they uncover a plot to use the key, and the subsequent door opening, as an excuse to lead a holy war against Earth.

McCloud's clean and appealing work, as well as much positive reception from critics and professionals, led him to later create his acclaimed treatise on the art of comic book creation : "Understanding Comics".
