Zita the Spacegirl; Legends of Zita the Spacegirl; The Return of Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke
Zita is probably one of my all time favorite heroes. She doesn't have any special gifts, isn't a genius or magic. She's just a girl trying to get herself and her best friend home and trying to do a little good along the way. Each of the books has a distinct plot while contributing to Zita's efforts to return to Earth. As such, each book teaches its own lesson and the reader grows up a little with Zita as she learns. These are great books to read and reread. Each panel is complex, easy to understand, and lovely to look at. Hatke has peopled his worlds with a wide variety of loveable creatures. The loyal Mouse. The murderous yet honorable One. The innocent Strong-Strong. The fearful Robot Randy. The hard to trust Piper. The frightening yet well-meaning Imprint-o-tron. The mysterious Madrigal. I defy anyone not to love Zita just a little bit.
