The skin-crawling, flesh-eating anthology is back – just in time for the chilly winter season. With Zombie Terrors: Undead Special #1, Asylum Press unearths a fresh quartet of stories from an international pool of talent pool for a truly satisfying feast of the flesh.
“The only thing worse than the dead are the stories they leave behind,” explains Asylum Press publisher and writer/artist Frank Forte. “I’m excited to finally bring this anthology to comic book stores through our friends at Lunar Distribution. We had some production and distribution delays, but the book is done and we’re ready to get it in people’s hands!”

In Bloody Good Time, an undercover cop finds himself desperate and alone while trying to make his way out of a cursed biker club. Definitely not the ‘groovy night’ he was looking for.

Continuing the blood-soaked horror, Cosplay Sacrifice, a group of fanboys have to defend themselves against a horde of cosplay zombies – dressed as their favorite comic book heroes! Written and illustrated by Asylum press founder, Frank Forte (Vampire Macabre, Heavy Metal).

And finally, Survival tells the story of cynical family of madmen doing whatever it takes to survive in an agonizing world full of rampaging zombies. Written by Pablo Barbieri with art by Carlos Vega.
“Together with Argentine Carlos Vera, who passed away just this year, we created this strange and disturbing family of survivors of the zombie apocalypse,” adds Survival writer Pablo Barbieri. “It is the tale of cautious, silent men who carry a dark secret. Today, the time has come to launch it into the world and enjoy it, from this plane and the next.”
“I’m so excited to have my story, The Cellar Dwellers, included in this issue alongside such an incredible lineup of creators. Asylum Press does the best indie horror comics out there, and with this issue they prove once again that the Zombie genre is still undead and kicking!”, explains writer artist Dwayne Harris. — Dwayne Harris
