The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics, edited by David Kendall

Lumbering. Rotting. Hungry. Zombies. In outer space? Yes, The Mammoth Book of Zombie Comics is filled with every type of zombie imaginable, from those that crank call their victims to, yes, space zombies from, well, outer space. Zombies have been popular in comics forever, but now are especially riding high on a wave of zombie books like World War Z and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This collection of comics will introduce you to zombies that you will never see in the theaters. You’ll find 18 stories that cover a broad range of zombie themes: classic revenge fantasies, the last man on earth stories, and tales of people just trying to find friends—that happen to be dead. There are even (gulp) romance stories about zombies and the women who love them.  If zombie romance stories aren’t your cup of tea, then you’ll be happy to know that each story begins with a half page introduction so you can quickly skip to the chapters that you think are the most interesting. Most of the stories are only a few pages though, and they are all entertaining (if somewhat twisted). The diverse nature of this collection can’t be beat. So if you like your undead villains shambling and ugly, then this book is for you.

This book is recommended for TEEN readers, ages 16 and up.
