Writer/artist Sam Kieth's popular ZERO GIRL miniseries was a wild, quirky, and truly original project that delighted fans of Kieth's previous work on The Maxx, while expanding into new territory. Now the hit miniseries is collected in ZERO GIRL, a 144-page HOMAGE COMICS trade paperback written and illustrated by Kieth, who also provides a new painted cover. ZERO GIRL is the story of a high-school misfit coming of age. Young Amy Smootster - weirdness magnet that she is - has never been the most popular girl in school. She can speak to insects and believes that circles are good and squares evil. Awkward and different, she doesn't quite fit into any social circle, and she likes it that way. But strange things seem to happen when Amy is around - the spontaneous appearance of puddles of water, for instance - and it has made her the target of relentless bullies. With the aid of a sympathetic guidance counselor whom she develops a mad crush on, Amy explores the meaning of her surreal abilities and discovers her place in the world. Complementing the storyline are Kieth's inimitable illustrations. Amy's world takes on a quirky life of its own thanks to Kieth's delicately beautiful linework. ZERO GIRL offers a striking visual experience and poignant story sure to thrill longtime fans and new readers alike. ZERO GIRL is 144-page trade paperback from HOMAGE COMICS $12.70 USA / $19.05 Can
