Synopsis In this graphic adaptation of his "zombie journalism" concept that is on full prose display in ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE and WORLD WAR Z: AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE ZOMBIE WAR, Max Brooks (who boasts excellent comedic experience--writing for Saturday Night Live--and pedigree--his father is none other than Mel Brooks) and illustrator Ibraim Roberson present gruesomely instructional vignettes. These short comics tales of flesh-eating walking dead make excellent companion material to Brooks' other books. Plus there's nothing like an illustration to help clarify an instructional manual--and when the topic is how to survive a zombie attack, one wants all the clarity one can get.
