Zombie Proof #1

Zombie Proof #1
This book is actually VERY GOOD! I must admit, the premise was quite intriguing, and even though after reading this book it turns out to be a fairly standard "small town deals with zombie crisis" story (think Jericho meets Day of the Dead), it's very competently executed. And it's in color! And the artwork is beautiful. I haven't heard of Vincent Spencer before, but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for future works by him, as he's a very talented artist.
Sure, it's got a $3.50 price tag, but let's face it, more than any other zombie story running right now (sorry K-man), this one would make the best movie or television drama. Sure, zombies may have been done to death already, pun intended, but this is still extremely competent. And besides, any book lettered by a man credited as "Marshall Dillon" deserves a read, doesn't it?
