Oni Press has announced Dead of Winter, a new comic book series based on the smash hit tabletop board games by Plaid Hat Games. Featuring the talents of writer Kyle Starks and artist Gabo, featuring cover art illustrated by Brian Hurtt and Bill Crabtree, arriving this August.

In the pantheon of heroes, none are more lovable and loyal than everyone’s beloved good ol’ dog, Sparky. Surviving in the wintery apocalypse of the undead, this former TV star turned zombie killing machine just wants to make friends and be a good boy. As his fellow survivors scavenge for supplies in the frigid wasteland, will Sparky be able to protect his companions from threats both undead and not yet undead?

A hilarious mix of The Walking Dead and Airbud (no, really), the Dead of Winter comic series draws from the incredibly fun and diverse sandbox of characters from the hit board games, starring fan-favorite canine, Sparky the Stunt Dog.
