'68 #1

From Image Comics in 2011, '68 #1 kicks off a four-issue miniseries that drops the undead squarely into the Vietnam War era — a premise as unsettling as it sounds. Nat Jones's painted cover says everything: a rotting, hollow-eyed zombie looms from a tangle of barbed wire, its gaping jaws clamped around a fragmentation grenade, blood-red title lettering dripping overhead. It's a visceral, confidently crafted opener that sets a grim, atmospheric tone for whatever horrors Mark Kidwell has waiting inside.
