Escape of the Living Dead #[nn]

This volume collects the first five issues of the 2006 Avatar Press series, a prequel to the classic Night of the Living Dead film. Written by John A. Russo (co-writer of the original movie) and illustrated by Dheeraj Verma, it explores the initial outbreak of the zombie plague through the eyes of a group of small-town characters. The story provides a gritty, expanded origin for the undead apocalypse that started it all.
