It's a zombie jamboree! Twenty years ago in October 2003, Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" comic [and eventual cross-media IP] kicked off a zombie-mania which has arguably oversaturated the genre for decades to come. We hop into the time machine to discuss a pair of older black&white indie zombie comics -- 1986's DEADWORLD from Arrow Comics, and 1989's THE WALKING DEAD from Aircel Comics [no relation to the Kirkman series!] Why does the pop-culture landscape love & keep returning to zombies? What are a few of your favorite pieces of zombie-media?
