In 1979, ZOMBIE splashed across the big screen in America, creating a new wave of gut blowing mayhem in horror films and carving a permanent name for itself in the stone tablets of genre history. Since then, the film has earned more than 100 million dollars worldwide and its images have become celebrated national icons. The striking poster art and no-holds-barred delivery on its promise have left theatrical and video audiences stunned and breathless in the past twenty years, and the films director, LUCIO FULCI, has become an immortal legend in the hearts of fans everywhere. Fulcis work has been the inspiration for generations; just two years ago, QUENTIN TARANTINO re-released Fulcis watershed masterpiece of horror, THE BEYOND, to rave reviews and great box-office in a special midnight only release.
ZOMBIE remains a favorite of horror fans, and is currently enjoying a wide new release on videotape and DVD from ANCHOR BAY ENTERTAINMENT.
Now, celebrating the films 20th anniversary, BLACKEST HEART MEDIA is proud to present the first-ever official comic book adaptation of the film! Featuring stunning artwork and a re-mastered soundtrack album of the films memorable score!
The cover is a standout attraction, a lovingly rendered recreation of the striking video/DVD box art from the film, which has become a national icon with horror fans worldwide! It is nearly impossible to walk into a video store anywhere in the world without seeing a copy of ZOMBIE on the shelves and with the help of AMAZON.COM, we hope to make this Graphic Novel adaptation just as readily available.
No expense was spared in the creation of the cover artwork, and it showsthis baby almost literally JUMPS off the page and EATS YOU!!!
The interior artwork was a year in the making, 150 pages of incredibly-detailed, lovingly transcribed black & white pen and ink work in the style of the early Warren pulp magazines such as CREEPY, EERIE, and VAMPIRELLA. The talent line-up features former Disney artist MIKE BROOM as penciller, Marvel veteran inker GERRY COFFEY and newcomer DEREK ROOK, who has been hailed by guys like STEPHEN BISSETTE as the new Wrightson!
Also included in the book are over twelve pages of bonus short stories from BLACKEST HEARTS forthcoming comic series based on the films of Lucio Fulci. You get THE GATES OF HELL and HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, illustrated in fine style by DEREK ROOK and graphic artist JAMES KEATING.
The script and breakdowns for ZOMBIE and its accompanying bonus short stories are wild and wooly, designed to dazzle and intrigue newcomers and film-fans alike, written by acclaimed author STEPHEN ROMANO, who wrote the novels INVASION OF THE MUTANOIDS, REVENGE OF SINISTER CINEMA and CAT IN THE BRAIN.
Romero is also an acclaimed soundtrack producer and created the brilliant new compact disc of the films soundtrack, which is included with each book. The disc features all 40 plus minutes of the haunting and highly atmospheric film score, along with over half an hours worth of bonus tracks, and rare radio spots from ZOMBIE and other Fulci films you wont find anywhere else!
The book comes attractively bound in trade paperback prestige format, with a full color cover on both sides and a glossy finish. The CD is included in a special pocket on the inside back cover.
Gory, Great Fun Purchased and read this book a year or so ago. I was a fan of the original movie and Zombie films in general, so I had high hopes for the book. Well it delivered with gory good fun on every page. The artwork is brilliant with dark moody inking, and layouts that aren't just your average comic layout. You can tell that all artists involved spent time thinking about what was going to go on the page, rather than just throwing something together. A must have for fans of the film.
For the diehard. This graphic novelization of Fulci's undead magnum opus is definitely a labor of love by Romano. The original storyline gets fleshed out here, and there's some ambitious pencils and inks, but the apocalyptic creepiness of the Maestro's lens doesn't translate to well. I woulda dug this ALOT more if it were in color. S'just not the same watchin' Dr. Menard's wife get her eye poked out in black and white, if ya know what I mean.
Good book but no real excitment This book was alright. I just wished there was a little more action. If you like Zombies and boring books, this book is for u. If not, don't get it. that's all.
