A bumper read indeed!
Saw this in the Works shop in 2009 for £4.99p, The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics and obviously being a big zombie and comic fan, I HAD to have it. And there are some great tales in here I can assure you from the uber spooky Pigeons From Hell by Robert E Howard & Scott Hampton to the brilliant Dead Eyes Open by Mathew Shepherd & Roy Boney Jr which treads a different path from the usual undead stories.
One of my favourites is Necrotic: Dead Flesh On a Living Body (Buddy Scalera, M. Swank & Pat Quinn) which is all about a mummy (the bandaged Egyptian kind) who falls in love. Has a beautifully dark 'ick' factor!
There are 18 flesh rotting stories in all, ranging from short to full length graphic novels complete with chapters, and these are accompanied by some REALLY lush illustrations (especially in the aforementioned Pigeons From Hell).
