BOOM! Studios has 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 Michael Dialynas. Zawa + The Belly of the Beast is a charmingly macabre eco-friendly fable about nature, greed, and good food shared with better friends, available November 8, 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!

Zawa + The Belly of the Beast #1 features a main cover by Michael Dialynas with variants by fan-favorite artists Jorge Corona, Karl Kerschl, and Skottie Young.
