'68 Jungle Jim #1

This opening issue of the four-part '68 Jungle Jim miniseries drops readers straight into Vietnam War horror, with a lone soldier — helmet marked "Jungle Jim," gas mask firmly in place, rifle raised — bracing against an overwhelming tide of rotting, blood-soaked zombies that surge over and around a fallen elephant in gruesome detail. Jeff Zornow's cover art is visceral and relentless, every undead figure clawing forward through cascading gore while Jay Fotos's color work saturates the jungle in deep reds and sickly greens. If you've ever wondered what the Vietnam-era zombie apocalypse looks like up close, this 2013 Image series announces its intentions with unmistakable intensity right from issue one.
