== Biography ==
Mosley was born in Hickory, Oklahoma but his family moved to Pottawatomie County. They lived first in Tecumseh and later moved to Shawnee where Zack, then going by his middle name, Terrell, graduated from Shawnee High School in 1925. He was active in student affairs including serving as treasurer of his class. HIs abilities as a cartoonist showed up at this early age and some of his work is in the school annual. His family then moved to Oklahoma City and he worked for a while as a retail clerk before leaving to attend the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and the Chicago Art Institute where he assisted Dick Calkins on ''Buck Rogers'' and ''Skyroads''. The ''Encyclopedia of American Comics'' noted:
:His love for airplanes went back to his childhood in Oklahoma, where he was born the year before that Indian Territory became a state. The sight of a plane that crashed there when he was seven years old so seized his imagination that he never lost his fascination, and when an Army "Jenny" landed nearby four years later, he began the habit of sketching planes that was to continue throughout his professional life. At the age of 20, he took his savings and enrolled at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Three years at the Art Institute of Chicago prepared him to get a job, along with his roommate Russell Keaton, assisting cartoonist Dick Calkins with ''Buck Rogers'' and ''Skyroads'', the pioneer aviation strip. In time, he and Keaton came to do most of the drawing of ''Skyroads'', and Mosley began to write some of the episodes.〔(''Encyclopedia of American Comics'' )〕
