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.
Saturday Night Live writer Max Brooks (son of Mel) writes a hilarious guide to surviving after the dead have risen from the earth. Writing with the ultimate deadpan seriousness, Brooks describes the tools you will need to protect your family and friends from the undead. Surprisingly, Brooks followed this humorous guidebook with the bestselling genre novel WORLD WAR Z: AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE ZOMBIE WAR, which recounted through "eyewitness" accounts the spread of a massive plague of zombies.
