Legends of Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hathke
The most recent installment of superhero
Zita by Ben Hathke is sure to please readers young and old alike. Ben’s artwork is stunning and playful
at the same time and his storyline is absolutely hilarious as the spunky Zita
faces one adventure after another. He is the sort of artist who evokes the classic art and imagination
of the legendary Japanese Hayao Miyazaki but with a definite American flavor to
his characters. In this edition, a
robot crawls out of a box and adapts itself to look just like Zita. Zita takes advantage of the situation
to get a break from her adoring fans, but finds herself in a predicament upon
her return; the robot Zita likes being Zita just a little too much. In the interim while Zita and her friend
mouse were off relaxing, robot Zita accepted a challenge from the Lumponian Ambassadors
to save their planet from the fatal heart stars. Robot Zita zooms away in Zita’s ship leaving the real spacegirl
in quite a pickle... Ben has come
up with a terrific adventure-filled tale for Zita that will have readers biting
their nails for the next installment!
