The Dead Ones Back To Eat Us
If you’re a horror fan—more precisesly, if you’re a gore fan—then you would probably acknowledge that George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead was the film that got the ball rolling for the craze of 80s splatter flicks.
Dawn of the Dead was a punch in the guts. Literally. After the punch, came the guts. And the zombies slurped up the spaghetti worms with glee. It was revolting. It was great! It made special effects creator Tom Savini a household name. And it’s moved IDW Publishing to publish George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead #1 by Steve Niles & Chee.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise. With their recent slabs of horror hits that include 30 Days of Night, Dark Days, and Wake the Dead, IDW is setting itself up as the formaldehyde king. But the body count comes a little bit closer to touching the ceiling with this latest comic adaptation depicting four mismatched survivors taking refuge inside a shopping mall from a zombie plague that decimates the world around them.
Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) pens the tale that acts as the sequel to George A. Romero’s early horror classic, Night of the Living Dead. Doing the artwork is none other than the familiar grave digger, Chee (Wake the Dead).
All flesh will be eaten! And zombie/gore fans will want to eat their own brains if they miss this ghastly comic which is rendered in full-color!
Look for George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead #1 in the Comics section of Previews!
