Publisher's Synopsis
Long before there was The Walking Dead there was Deadworld. Here is one of comics' longest running independents as Deadworld has had over 100 issues and graphic novels published and over one million copies sold over the years. Now Deadworld is presented in full color! This graphic is designed to stand on its own, but the story line picks up the pieces of Deadworld: Slaughterhouse as it returns to the sanctuary known as Safe Haven.
A small outpost, remnants of a twisted scientist's scheme gone wrong to defeat the plague, holds out against the army of King Zombie. Their secret weapon are the Lepers-victims of a bizarre experiment that left them with dead skin in breathing husks...with flesh that even zombies won't touch. It is a war of intelligence versus primal instincts---the will to survive against the craving for flesh. It is a war of those with dead carcasses inhabited by living minds against those that are totally lifeless. It is a War of the Dead.
Winner of the Ghastly Award for Best Horror mini-series of 2012.
Collects the entire War of the Dead comic book series issues 1-5.
