Deviating outside of the familiar old school George Romero zombie apocalypse, "Zombie Tales" takes a cue from "Shawn of the Dead" and delivers some comedies, as well as taut thrillers, dramas, and some social commentary. Dedicated to delivering smart, accessible, high-quality short stories, this is an anthology that has met with great acclaim amongst comic book fandom, featuring more fantastic zombie stories from more great writers and artists that you know and love.

From the Publisher
Best Zombie Comic - Ain't It Cool News
"Every story in here is good, and some are GREAT, like John Rogers's "Daddy Smells Different," and they're mostly in the vein of the best of the Twilight Zone stories, punchy little tales with surprising twist endings, and like the Twilight Zone, the anthology's strength is its breadth." - BOINGBOING
"There is not a `weak link' in the chain here, every piece is solid which is rare for an anthology." - Chud.com

Slick zombie art, dark comedic twists,

This review is from: Zombie Tales Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Zombie tales is a set of animated tales that were all quite enjoyable. Brief and extremely well drawn, these stories made me snicker with evil glee at each punchline laid out by each author. Sure, a couple did not make me laugh and one was downright touching in the end, but there was a lot of humor, extra dark, and a few surprise endings.
I particularly enjoyed "Daddy smells different", and "Four out of Five" with their little Twilight Zone twists to their stories. If you appreciate zombies, excellent graphics, and like a little bit of snarkiness, you will probably enjoy this tome immensely. I look forward to looking at other volumes as they come out.
