PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The zombie series fans have demanded comes to comics in this fully-authorized series from the original creators, director George A. Romero and co-writer John Russo, and the story everyone was dying to see: a prequel to the original film! Written by Russo and fully-approved by Romero, this is the horror series of the decade from the men who defined the genre! We heard the eyewitness accounts and were shocked by the television news reports, but now for the first time we will experience the horrifying events which led to that first Night Of The Living Dead! A strange mist brings the unburied dead back to life, hungry for the flesh of the living! There is nowhere safe to run and no one could possibly prepare for the onslaught of the ghouls, thirsting for human blood! This incredible prequel to the blockbuster classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD gives new insight into many of the film's characters and locations, including horrific encounters at the farm house and Beekman's diner and introduces us for the first time to The Cemetery Zombie, Sheriff McClellan, and NOTLD hero, Ben!

Format: Full Color, 32 pages, 2 of 3

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: John Russo's Escape of the Living Dead continues with an all-new tale of the continuing spread of the zombie virus... But now, it's taken a different and even more treacherous turn! In the back woods of Pennsylvania in 1971, a bus filled with San Francisco-bound hippies and flower children are about to find ""peace and love"" replaced with ""fight or die"" as they are attacked in an unthinkable onslaught by flesh-hungry zombies. As the hippie passengers of a broken-down bus enjoy a comfortable, drug-induced haze, their practice of ""free love"" will slowly slip into a gut-wrenching orgy of death. Not suspecting that the surrounding woods are crawling with reanimated corpses that crave human flesh, the children of the Age of Aquarius begin a night of debauchery... And one by one, they will all face horrifying murder at the hands of the undead! An unlikely group of heroes will arise, however, to face the menace of the living dead head-on, but can their desperate fight for life succeed against the bizarre, calculated efforts of zombie messiah Deadhead? As well as the Standard cover by Verma, this issue is available with Wraparound, Terror, Body Count, Gore, and Splatter Stock (that features a special cardstock cover) covers by series artist Dheeraj Verma!
