ZombieWorld: Champion of the Worms

In the late 1990s, Dark Horse Comics unleashed ZombieWorld: Champion of the Worms, a three-issue miniseries that twists the zombie genre into a strange, mythic key. Written by Mike Mignola and illustrated by Pat McEown, the story pits a lone, enigmatic champion against a tide of undead and a grotesque worm-god, blending Mignola's signature occult dread with McEown's moody, expressive art. Though brief, this entry in the broader ZombieWorld line stands out for its atmospheric, almost folkloric take on apocalypse, a cult gem from the era when Mignola was defining his voice outside of Hellboy.
