Tales of the Zombie

A short-lived but memorable series from Australian publisher Yaffa/Page, Tales of the Zombie ran for four issues starting in 1979, reprinting classic horror stories originally from Marvel’s black-and-white magazine line. Writer Steve Gerber and artist Pablo Marcos were the creative team most associated with this run, which brought grim, atmospheric zombie tales to a new audience. While brief, it stands as a curious artifact of the international comics market, repackaging American horror for a different readership.
