Description

I first discovered Sam Kieth’s work when I stumbled upon “The Maxx.”
After the local comic shop closed down, I never finished the series, but
that’s probably okay. I was told by friends that the series didn’t finish
the series, either. It just stopped.

After ending “The Maxx”, the next series Keith wrote and drew was
the five-issue “Zero Girl.” Published by DC’s Homage Comics, it wasn’t
reprinted in trade paperback form until IDW came along to do the job.
It’s another interesting, not exactly linear, story that either grabbed readers
or left them scratching their heads.

This is page 16 from issue #1. Our heroine, Amy Smootster, is being
tormented by the trio of mean girls who would haunt her throughout
the story. On this page, Amy is the bespectacled figure on the bottom
right. For the first time, Zero Girl is using her powers against her
enemies. And while rolls of toilet paper aren’t the most frightening
weapons, they’re more impressively frightening when they gain teeth
on the following page.

Definitely a fantastic period in Kieth's career!  It wasn't mainstream enough to command high prices then, but he didn't care and this is more for him to get his stories out!  Those who got them appreciated that honest artistic vision and mentality.
