Writing Imperfect Superhumans: The Story Behind Zip | USDN Interview with Mike Scrase
Hello Council Members! I’m The Chairman of The United States Department of Nerds (USDN), and today we’re diving into the world of ZIP — the British comic about flawed superhumans that doubles as a smart commentary on disability.
Joining me is Mike Scrase (Writer), the creator of Zip, published by Markosia Enterprises. With stunning art by San Espina and lettering by Ferran Delgado, Zip has already delivered three powerful issues — and now Issue #4 is heading to Kickstarter!
In this episode, we’ll explore:
The origins of Zip and Mike’s journey into comics
How disability became central to the story of imperfect superhumans
The challenges and care taken when writing about disability responsibly
What’s in store for Issue #4 (funerals, time travel, and huge twists!)
The Kickstarter campaign, rewards, and why indie publishing matters
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to write superhumans with depth, care, and realism — this is the episode for you.
🔗 Kickstarter for Zip #4 (Launching Sept 16th): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikescrase/zip4?ref=discovery&term=zip&total_hits=5145&category_id=250
