Greatly influenced by the work of "Astro Boy" creator and 'God of Manga' Osamu Tezuka, McLoud created "Zot!" more than two decades ago at the tender age of 23, making it the first manga-inspired American comics ever. Zachary T. Paleozogt, popularly known as Zot is a blond haired, blue eyed teenage hero from an alternate Earth - this alternate reality is a retro-futuristic technological utopia where flying cars, robots and interplanetary travel are common and nearly all of its inhabitants benefit from peace, prosperity and a marked lack of conventional social ills. Jaunting back and forth between the two worlds seems exciting for Zot at first, but there are subtle differences in the essential nature of the two planets that take some getting used to. On Zot's world, events naturally favor the 'good guys' in any conflict, while on Earth, Zot is a less successful hero, reflecting the fact that our world clearly does not conform to the same rules as his. Nevertheless, Zot eagerly takes on Earth's challenges with the most amusing outcomes. The series is particularly notable for its imagery which is reminiscent of the Golden Age of Science Fiction, its energetic visual design and its meta-fictional underpinning. This newly revised cult classic is not to be missed!

Serier – den osynliga konsten etablerade sig omedelbart som en oumbärlig referensbok om seriernas bildspråk och berättarteknik. Den borde finnas hos varje serieälskare, på alla bibliotek, skolbilbliotek, konsthögskolor och reklambyråer. Ingen bildlärare borde längre våga tala inför eleverna om seriernas språk och dolda budskap utan att ha McCloud i bakfickan. Alla som på något sätt arbetar med bilder och budskapsförmedling via bilder har något att hämta ur McClouds klara källa. Hur kommer det sig att vi kan leva oss in i känslorna hos tecknade seriefigurer? Den här boken förklarar det. Och den är själv en illustration till förklaringen. Med enkla men fascinerande resonemang för Scott McCloud oss genom seriens historia, dess framställningsprocess, dess grammatik, bildspråk och berättarteknik, sätter in den i en kulturell helhetsbild – och framför allt visar han oss vad vi egentligen ser, när vi ser en serie. Han gör det dessutom helt och hållet i serieform! Boken betraktas redan som standardverk på sitt område och har både i hemlandet USA och i de stora europeiska serieländerna blivit en succé långt utanför de inbitna serieläsarnas skara. Den svenska utgåvan har utökats med en kompletterande litteraturlista, namnförklaringar och ordförklaringar. Förord och efterskrift av Horst Schröder.
