“This is harder with everyone hiding in their homes so much now, but my new big move on the ladies is to tell them all about how the art book of my ancient, cancelled show is a number one best seller on Amazon. I’ve been arrested 20 times so far. #InvaderZim https://t.co/BudlxXl1wu” (from X)

The Art of Invader Zim is the official behind-the-scenes guide to Nickelodeon’s cult-classic animated series and Enter the Florpus. Foreword by Rebecca Sugar Created by indie comics artist Jhonen Vasquez, Invader Zim tells the story of extraterrestrial outcast Zim, from the planet Irk. With the assistance of his malfunctioning robot GIR, Zim repeatedly tries (and fails) to execute his dastardly plan to conquer Earth, all while masquerading as an average elementary school student. Chris McDonnell’s The Art of Invader Zim is the definitive history of both the fan-favorite series and Enter the Florpus. A fully authorized, all-access compendium of never-before-published production art, storyboards, behind-the-scenes photos, and ephemera, this book features exclusive interviews with Vasquez and other key crewmembers that reveal the origins, art, and imagination behind one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved turn-of-the-millennium series. “A comprehensive (and DOOM!-filled) history of one of the strangest cartoons Nickelodeon ever greenlit.” —SYFY Wire
