Long before there was The Walking Dead there was Deadworld. Here is a collection of short stories from the pages of Deadworld, one of the longest running zombie titles in the comics market. Deadworld has had over 100 issues and graphic novels released over the years and sold over 1 million copies. A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. The dead return to walk the earth…but this is no standard zombie story. The dead are just soldiers for those who have crossed the Gateway. The lead zombies are intelligent, sadistic, and in addition to having a hankering for flesh, enjoy the tortuous ordeals they put the surviving humans through. Now seven wayward teens on a school bus, scramble to escape the zombie apocalypse. Little did they know that there were also intelligent zombies and they had a plan…and they had a leader, King Zombie.

Included in this collection is the very first Deadworld story, Black Sabbath , which introduced to the comics audience the hard biting scenes of zombies taking over the Earth. The classic tales, illustrated by the artist known as the Deadworld artist , Vince Locke, are presented as an the introduction to one of Deadworld’s most popular characters, the Dead-Killer. This proves to be a great collection piece for fans to discover the compelling need to feed on the saga of Deadworld.

In Deadworld, death is only the beginning of the horror and this action packed assemblage of tales set in this zombie infested world illustrates perfectly the dilemma the humans face, not only from the hordes of zombies but from humans themselves.
