Zombie Tales: The Dead

In 2006, Boom! Studios launched Zombie Tales: The Dead, a one-shot comic that stands as a stark, standalone entry in the publisher's early zombie anthology line. With a cover and interior art by the distinctive Dave Johnson, this single issue delivers a compact, atmospheric horror story that helped define the tone for the broader Zombie Tales series. It matters as a focused, creator-driven snapshot of Boom!'s commitment to genre storytelling during the mid-2000s horror boom.
