Deadworld

Deadworld, launched by Caliber Press in 1989, is a long-running horror series that reimagines the zombie apocalypse with a grim, supernatural twist. Though originally a single issue, its stark black-and-white art and bleak atmosphere established a cult following for its unflinching take on a world overrun by the dead. The series is most associated with writer Stuart Kerr and artist Vince Locke, whose haunting visuals defined its signature look. Its importance lies in helping to shape the independent horror comics landscape of the late '80s and early '90s, offering a darker, more nihilistic alternative to mainstream superhero fare.
