FC • 168 pages • $17.99 • Teen+

A small outbreak can turn into a worldwide apocalypse… but only through a long string of screw-ups! Once actual zombies begin popping up in our world, a lone intelligence analyst realizes real-life events are beginning to mimic the events of a long-lost, Grade-Z, drive-in horror flick. As he races to save humanity with this knowledge, he quickly learns the only thing more dangerous than ravenous walking corpses is the ineptitude of the living! The gutsplitting (and then eating) comedy that pokes fun at the zombie horror phenomenon! Illustrated in graytones with red highlights (for blood and gore, of course), so it feels like the ever-popular The Walking Dead series. Collects the complete storyline from issues #1-5 of The Mocking Dead comic book series, complete with a cover gallery!

Collection Features:

  • Issues 1-5 of The Mocking Dead by Fred Van Lente and Max Dunbar
  • Introduction by David Wellington
  • Script to issue one by Fred Van Lente
