Time for a stunning first look from BOOM! Studios. The publisher has today revealed a first look at Zawa + The Belly of the Beast #1, the premier issue of the brand new series from GLAAD Award-winning and Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Micahel Dialynas (Wynd, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). The series is a charmingly macabre eco-friendly fable about nature, greed, and good food shared with better friends, available November 2023.
Trapped for eternity inside her mountain by pollution-spewing factories, the ancient guardian spirit Zawa only has industrial run-off to eat, leading her to a bitter existence of paranoia and destruction. But when two siblings from a nearby village, Bandit and Thatcher, help her escape, they’ll quickly learn that the way to calm Zawa’s heart is through a well nourished stomach!
The series’ debut issue features a main cover by Michael Dialynas with variants by fan-favorite artists Jorge Corona (Batgirls), Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy), and Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland). Get your first look at the cover gallery below:
