Book Description
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. And it all starts here! A supernatural plague has been unleashed on the world. The dead return to walk the earth...but this is no standard zombie story. The dead are just soldiers for those who have crossed the Gateway. The lead zombies are intelligent, sadistic, and in addition to having a hankering for flesh, enjoy the tortuous ordeals they put the surviving humans through. Now seven wayward teens on a school bus, scramble to escape the zombie apocalypse. Little did they know that there were also intelligent zombies and they had a plan…and they had a leader, King Zombie. Death becomes very real to the teens as they lose some of their members and their hope that an abandoned riverboat will provide sanctuary proves futile. The Deadworld Archives series collects all of the original Deadworld series published by Arrow and Caliber Comics from the 1980-90s into a series of ten graphic novels. BOOK FIVE: Deadworld Archives edition collects issues 19-23 of the first volume of Deadworld. Also included, the original tale of "Deadworld: Guns for Sale", from Caliber Presents #8. As Dan and Joey depart the community they were staying with, a band of survivors in Michigan decide to head to the wilds of the Upper Peninsula, hoping that the cold weather and sparse population will inhibit the menace of the walking dead. Lead by John this ragtag group races for the remote area, hoping they can establish their own civilization. Meanwhile King Zombie continues his quest to find these humans and put an end to their meddling as he seeks to fully take over the world under his dominion, backed by his growing zombie horde. "...amongst the most essential horror titles of the last twenty years." - Peter Normanton, From the Tomb magazine. "The best, in my humble opinion, of the zombie comics." - Tom Snigoski, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I the Supreme
Author: Augusto Roa Bastos
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525564691
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
I the Supreme imagines a dialogue between the nineteenth-century Paraguayan dictator known as Dr. Francia and Policarpo Patiño, his secretary and only companion. The opening pages present a sign that they had found nailed to the wall of a cathedral, purportedly written by Dr. Francia himself and ordering the execution of all of his servants upon his death. This sign is quickly revealed to be a forgery, which takes leader and secretary into a larger discussion about the nature of truth: “In the light of what Your Eminence says, even the truth appears to be a lie.” Their conversation broadens into an epic journey of the mind, stretching across the colonial history of their nation, filled with surrealist imagery, labyrinthine turns, and footnotes supplied by a mysterious “compiler.” A towering achievement from a foundational author of modern Latin American literature, I the Supreme is a darkly comic, deeply moving meditation on power and its abuse—and on the role of language in making and unmaking whole worlds.

Horror and the fantastic mark the unstable realism of Our Dead World, in which altered states of consciousness, marginalized peoples, animal bodies, and tensions between tradition and modernity are recurring themes.
