Deadworld - Complete Comic Book Collection

Deadworld #1-26

by Gary Reed, Vince Locke (Illustrator), Ron McCain (Illustrator)

Over 46 Deadworld comics collected on one CD-ROM! 1,700 pages digitally scanned and restored with extras. Works off of Adobe Acrobat Reader. For Mature Readers (contains adult language, violence, and zombie gore) THE STORY... A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. The dead return to walk the earth...but this is no standard zombie story. The dead are just soldiers for those who have crossed the Gateway. The leader zombies are intelligent, sadistic, and in addition to having a hankering for flesh, enjoy the tortuous ordeals they put the surviving humans through. Leader of the zombies is the intelligent, Harley riding, sarcastic being known as King Zombie. Killing humans is just a sideline to his cruel methods as he seeks to find a way to open the gates permanently and take over the earth. Deadworld is a horror comic that attacks the zombie menace from a different perspective. In addition to having intelligent zombies with a goal and mission, Deadworld is also exploring the human interactions as mankind finds itself facing extinction. While some groups organize in the best interests of self-preservation, others use this as an opportunity to explore their own self deluded dreams. Deadworld is a story of horror...of survival...of hope and despair. It is an ongoing saga of modern man facing his darkest side...where science and technology are no longer his allies...where his power of reasoning is no longer his weapon alone. Deadworld is death, yet life.

Reviews

[Anthony · Rating 3 out of 5]

An 80s underground comic from 1990s Caliber Press. A definite frontrunner to the post-apoc zombie craze of today. A choppy mix of humor, gore and horror.
