Lansdale and Truman's Dead Folks

Set in a brutal, rain-slicked Southern Gothic landscape, Dead Folks is a three-issue miniseries from Avatar Press that began in 2003. Written by Joe R. Lansdale and illustrated by Timothy Truman, the story follows a pair of desperate drifters who stumble into a small Texas town where the dead refuse to stay buried. This gritty, supernatural crime tale showcases the pair's signature blend of dark humor, visceral horror, and starkly rendered violence. It remains a potent, underrated gem for fans of Lansdale's tense storytelling and Truman's raw, expressive artwork.
