La Nuit des morts-vivants

A four-issue French miniseries from Panini France, La Nuit des morts-vivants (2012–present) reimagines the classic zombie apocalypse with a Gallic sensibility. While the series title evokes the iconic Romero film, this comic carves its own path, focusing on the visceral horror and societal collapse that follows an undead uprising. The project is most associated with writer Jean-Luc Istin and artist Nicolas Guénet, who bring a European comics tradition of moody, detailed storytelling to the genre. Its significance lies in offering a distinct, non-English-language take on a well-worn horror premise, proving the zombie mythos can be effectively transplanted and reinvented across cultures.
