Before there was THE WALKING DEAD there was DEADWORLD. Deadworld is one of the longest running independent, acclaimed horror comic series, with over 100 comics and graphic novels released and 1,000,000 copies sold, that attacks the zombie menace from a different 'supernatural' perspective. The dead return to walk the earth...but this is no standard zombie story. In addition to having intelligent zombies with a mission and goal, Deadworld also explores the human interactions as mankind finds itself facing extinction. And 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. With DEADWORLD: TATTOO - THE ORIGINAL CREATORS OF DEADWORLD RETURN! Ralph Griffith and Stuart Kerr deliver a self-contained spin-off story from the Deadworld universe. Here is the saga of a female hybrid between the living and the dead known as Tattoo. And in order to piece together the answers to why there are an increasing number of "intelligent" zombies leading the onslaught of the dead armies against humanity, the zombie slayer Tattoo must travel into the depths of zombie hell in the city of New Orleans. There she will find the ruling warlord of the dead... The Rasta Man. Collects comic issues #1-4.
