Night of the Living Dead Comic Boxset Coming Next Month
All 28 issues of Avatar Press’ Night of the Living Dead comic series will be reissued in a box set, which will include the standard covers in addition to the rare Wraparound, Gore, and Classic covers.
Set in the continuity of the original 1968 film, the series follows what happened as the world continues to be overrun with the living dead. The first story arc takes place in Las Vegas in the late ’70, by which time the government believes that the zombie epidemic has been contained, before the outbreak is unleashed yet again.
The Night of the Living Dead box set will be released on October 15. You can get it on Amazon for $69.99 (or less).
Synopsis:
Zombie fans demanded it – the most unprecedented and horrifying night in American history continues as The Night of the Living Dead world expands with these official canon trade paperbacks! With stories set on that fateful evening in 1968 and expanding to the next generation in the 1970s, these tales expand the original frightening legend to new heights of undead horror.
Shocking reports from rural areas continue to flood the airwaves with accounts of the recently deceased rising up to kill the living. Now, government officials begin counter-measures to calm an increasingly panic-stricken public. Questioning whether or not the unbelievable stories are truth or simply an elaborate hoax perpetrated by militants opposed to the Vietnam War, the attention of the nation’s Capitol is focused on a threat more believable, as thousands of protesters converge on Capitol Hill to voice their opposition to the War.
This five-volume collection includes the original Night of the Living Dead Volumes 1, 2, and 3 graphic novels along with the innovative 1970s follow-up series Night of the Living Dead: Aftermath Volumes 1 and 2 presented in a one-of-a-kind, value-priced collector’s slipcase.
