COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
GEORGE A ROMERO'S EPIC ZOMBIE SAGA.
BASED ON THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!
The zombie horde that overwhelmed the United States spread to England in 1968. An infected woman aboard a British-bound flight mutated in midflight. When the plane landed, it carried a cargo of zombies and unleashed the plague of the undead on the realm. That was twenty-five years ago and since then life has been a constant tribulation.
More than depicting the horror of a swarm of zombies overrunning the country, Clive Barker employs the story as a vehicle for mocking and ridiculing royalty and the clergy. The Royal Family is depicted as a group of pompous, self-absorbed twits who insist on maintaining appearances in the face of obvious desolation. Bishop Hallam, representing the clergy, is an icon of hypocrisy as he uses his position to find boys for sexual partners, and callously gunning down the mob of zombies who get in his way.
Hauting painted artwork.
Zombies, zombies, and more zombies! George A. Romero's classic fright flicks Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead redefined zombies for modern audiences.
Gorey and Frightening! Like the films themselves.
Kastro’s artwork is haunting at times and perfect for the unsettling imagery of the undead killing the living and the black & white artwork is a perfect compliment to the film. Some of the images are even more haunting on the page then in the film. I was reminiscing about the great artwork from the EC Comics era and how much Kastro’s work mirrors that.
It had a very low print run as an indie comic book.
Highly sought after.
Impossible to find!
