PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The co-writer of the classic film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD brings his all-new, never-before-seen zombie masterpiece to comics! 1971: It's been three years since the blood soaked night that the dead rose from their graves, attacking and devouring the living. Now, the legacy of that horrific and unexplained event is about to be unleashed once again upon an unsuspecting world... But this time, there may be no escape for those in the terrifying clutches of the cannibalistic, living dead! Hidden within the concrete walls of a secret medical research lab, someone has been studying the last remaining undead remnants of the marauding zombie army. Unleashed by the untimely intervention of a group of road weary bikers looking for an easy score, the walking dead renew their gut ripping campaign of terror. As each member of a rural community dies in the grotesque feeding frenzy of the zombies, so does the nightmare army grow, as half eaten victims rise up to join the ranks of the undead. Can anything possibly contain the contagion being spread by the Escape Of The Living Dead? This full-color TPB collects all five issues of the hit terror series of the year!

Deep in Louisiana bayou country, the tales are whispered that somewhere out there, lurking in the swamp is a heart-ripping horror that waits for the unsuspecting... For everyone knows that if you're not careful, The Witchman'll getcha. Plantation owner John Bailey and his ruthless henchmen were warned by the sultry voodoo woman. They ignored the tales of the ancient Indian curse upon the land and viciously silenced the beautiful, but bizarre swamp woman's claims of powers of the supernatural. And now they will pay, in an unending bloodbath of terror that will span generations and unleash an even darker curse upon the swampland that can never be escaped... The curse of the Witchman! Death, gore and carnal horror await in this atmospheric series introduction, as modern myth told around the campfire and heart-stopping reality meet for those foolish enough not to fear the warnings. But by then, it's much too late... Because the Witchman will get you. As well as the Standard cover by Wolfer, this issue is available with Wraparound, Terror, Gore, Body Count, and Splatter Stock (that features a special cardstock cover) covers by series artist Mike Wolfer.
