Zombie Tales: The War at Home

In 2008, Boom! Studios launched this single-issue one-shot from the horror anthology Zombie Tales line, pairing acclaimed novelist Joe R. Lansdale with artist Eduardo Barreto for a grim, self-contained story. It explores the domestic fallout of a zombie apocalypse, focusing on the brutal choices a family must make to survive when the undead threat hits home. A taut, character-driven entry in the publisher's horror catalog, it stands out for Lansdale's signature blend of Southern gothic grit and visceral storytelling.
