Issue description
The writer of the classic film Night Of The Living Dead brings his all-new, never-before-
seen zombie masterpiece to comics! 1971: It's been three years since the bloodsoaked
night that the dead rose from their graves, attacking and devouring the living. Now, the
legacy of that horrific and unexplained event is about to be unleashed once again upon an
unsuspecting world... But this time, there may be no escape for those in the terrifying
clutches of the cannibalistic, living dead! Hidden within the concrete walls of a secret
medical research lab, someone has been studying the last remaining undead remnants of
the marauding zombie army. Unleashed by the untimely intervention of a group of
roadweary bikers looking for an easy score, the walking dead renew their gutripping
campaign of terror. As each member of a rural community dies in the grotesque feeding
frenzy of the zombies, so does the nightmare army grow, as halfeaten victims rise up to
join the ranks of the undead. Can anything possibly contain the contagion being spread
by the Escape Of The Living Dead?
