Zanta: The Living Legend

Jason Kieffer’s Zanta: The Living Legend (2012–present) is a single-issue comic that introduces a bizarre, original anti-hero: a foul-mouthed, beer-swilling mall Santa who becomes a vigilante after a life-altering accident. Published independently, the series blends absurdist humor with over-the-top action, carving out a cult niche for its unhinged premise. Kieffer’s raw, energetic art and writing define this one-shot, making it a memorable oddity in the landscape of self-published comics.
