A Long Day's Journey into HELL

FINALLY, precious dead things...it can be seen. The horror so foul, so staggeringly apocalyptic, that it was locked away, unseen by human eyes for 20 years. A tale of nihilistic, take-no-prisoners zombie perversion unlike any at the time...or today. Echoed by many late-comers in the ensuing decades, Arrow Comics' nightmarish splatter holocaust THE DEAD still has no equal...as you are about to see.

We present to you, for the first time ever, a taste of A Long Day's Journey into HELL, the lost, never-published third issue of The Dead, all the way from 1993.

The story up to this point has been a tragic one...two families (and a handful of friends) vacationing in the wilds of rural Michigan are set upon by a group of very bad people...very bad dead people.

 

An old, local farmer...with no pulse (but a double barrel shotgun to make up for it) drops in unexpectedly, and he's brought a few friends. The kind that draw flies.

The parents of both families are wiped out - tortured, massacred, eaten - the survivors, piled into a battered Winnebago headed for a fate unknown. But the dead do not stop...nothing gets between them and their prey. And they are not alone. They are everywhere.

And so our beleaguered group of survivors face danger and horror at every turn, until inevitably, one of them - pretty young Michelle - is bitten.

Unconscious, suffering massive blood loss, she dreams of the world to come...which is even worse than the one they have been ruthlessly thrust into. The one just outside their camper door...
 
While we work to upgrade the Dead blog to a full website, we'll be premiering the three-page teaser on the official Facebook page...

Believe us when we say, when this kicks into high gear, it's gonna be more fun then a girl scout meeting in a cemetery full of hungry zombies. We plan on dripping a little here, a little there into your drooling mouths as the weeks go on, to keep you hungry for what is to come...so stay tuned, necrophiliacs...it's about to get WET.
 
Don't forget your vomit bag...
