Zander Cannon (b. 1972)

Biography:

Zander Cannon is an American cartoonist.

Cannon's first professional comics work was The Chainsaw Vigilante, a spin-off from The Tick, from New England Comics. Beginning in the mid-1990s, he wrote and drew The Replacement God (Slave Labor, 1995 series), a fantasy comic book about a former slave named Knute who is pursued across the fictional land of Mun by a tyrannical king and his beatnik Visigoth Death Horde. Cannon worked as layout artist on Top 10 (DC, 1999 series), with writer Alan Moore and finishing artist Gene Ha, and pencilled its spin-off miniseries Smax (DC, 2003 series), with Moore and inker Andrew Currie, for America's Best Comics.

Zander and Kevin Cannon have worked together on many comics & illustration projects, including several nonfiction graphic novels. In 2012 they launched the digital comics magazine Double Barrel, in which Zander Cannon is serializing the graphic novel Heck, his first long-form solo comics project since The Replacement God. Top Shelf Productions collected Heck (Top Shelf, 2013 series) into graphic novel format in 2013.

Cannon has been developing the Kaijumax (Oni Press, 2015 series) series since 2015 as writer and artist. Kaijumax tells the story of a kaiju (monster in Japanese) jail. In 2025, he started the 8-issue horror series Sleep (Image, 2025 series).
