Zacchilli self-published her first comic series, Bullshit Frank and Gorilla Joe, while working at a café. Editions of her work, including her series RAV, were risograph-printed and had screen-printed covers, which helped attract attention to her work at comic book conventions including Small Press Expo.[3]
