Spilling about Zango, superheroes
and my love for floppy comic books

"...a funny comic with
a smart-ass premise..."
-AlertNerd.com

"In this issue, R.I.P. Van Freako fights
The Atomic Pilgrim, and the beauty of
that sentence is that I don’t even have
to explain who those characters are.
You already know that it’s awesome
just by reading those names."
- Chris's Invincible Super-Blog

"...a quick-paced and
quick-witted funny book..."
- Great Caesar's Post

THE NEARLY INFAMOUS ZANGO #2

Lord Zango is no longer the terror of Metrotown. He now pursues a steady diet of daytime television. When Zango learns that his longtime rival has a new nemesis, his temper explodes and the couch catches fire.

In an effort to reclaim his notorious reputation, Zango enlists the macabre talents of Deacon Dread. They conspire to turn ordinary produce into a monster army. But the experiment goes fruity, and they must face-off with a bad apple of their own creation!

THE NEARLY INFAMOUS ZANGO #1

Lord Alfred Zango, Jr. was once the most feared super villain in Metrotown. He razed entire blocks, crushed super heroes beneath his heel. Now he’s just a malcontent couch potato. In bunny slippers and bathrobe, Zango gorges himself on junk food and fumes over the media attention that other super-baddies receive. Too lazy to leave the house, Zango sends a gorilla assassin to eliminate his competition!

From the award-winning creator Rob Osborne comes this hilarious and offbeat look at super villainy.

makes it looks easy."
