About the series
Marvel’s 2008–2009 adaptation of Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake novels, The Laughing Corpse - Book One, is a five-issue miniseries that brings the supernatural crime thriller to comics. Written by Jess Ruffner with art by Ron Lim and drawn from the second novel in the series, it follows necromancer and vampire executioner Anita Blake as she navigates a case involving a reanimated corpse and a powerful, ancient zombie. This series helped expand Hamilton’s bestselling universe into sequential art, capturing the gritty, horror-noir tone that made the books a phenomenon.
