Horror is a twisted mirror held up to the world, and zombies are currently the most popular fun-house mirror in the carnival.ĪiPT: This clearly isn’t your first time around the block-you’ve gotten many written works published, comic and literature alike. The Serpent and the Rainbow (highly underrated!) was also a big one, Craven was such a master in that era…and what about Brother Voodoo? My first introduction into zombies in comics, still got me those old Strange Tales!Īs far as why they appeal in particular? I think for the same reason they consciously or unconsciously resonate with pretty much everyone…bloodsuckers and numb/brain-dead creatures are everywhere. Joshua Ortega: Loved zombies and was fascinated by them since I was way too young to be watching zombie movies… Night of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead were my favorites as a kid, and later came to really appreciate Dawn of the Dead, but NOLD and ROLD were the ones that hooked me first from a cinematic angle. So, what appeals to you about the zombie genre in particular? I’m not talking specifically about zombie animals, just the undead in particular.
