Publisher's Synopsis
Long before there was The Walking Dead, there was Deadworld.
Considered by many to be the godfather of the original zombie comic with over 100 issues and graphic novels in print and over 1,000,000 copies sold, Deadworld ripped into the undead with intelligent zombies on a mission and a group of poor teens riding in a school bus desperately try to stay one step ahead of the sadistic, Harley-riding King Zombie. Death, mayhem, and a touch of supernatural evil made Deadworld a classic and now here's your chance to get into the story! In this self-contained story arc, many humans find themselves trapped in a world of the walking dead and the living who will do anything to survive. The promise of Safe Haven reveals a much darker and sinister purpose, when victims find themselves in a medical facility which will stop at nothing to combat the zombie plague. In an effort to solve the growing plague, researchers try a scientific approach to save mankind - humans as guinea pigs! Natural diseases such as leprosy, AIDS, and cancer are used to infect the zombies. Survivors find that the greatest horror may not be the zombies but other humans. To the unfortunate, Safe Haven becomes known as the Slaughterhouse. Note that although Slaughterhouse is meant to stand on is own, it follows the story "Deadworld: Requiem for the World" and precedes "Deadworld: War of the Dead". Collects Deadworld Slaughterhouse comic issues #1-4. "Deadworld is amongst the most essential horror titles of the last twenty years." - Peter Normanton, From the Tomb Magazine.
