Cryptology #7

“This time no one gets out alive, for I, your very own Cryptologist, have unleashed the walking dead for the sixth issue of my putrescent tome! It’s a gathering of zombies, journeying back to the films White Zombie and I Walked With A Zombie, before venturing on into the zombie apocalypse of George Romero and Lucio Fulci’s foul imagining. We also stagger through zombies that ran amok in the comic books of the pre-Code years, Bernie Wrightson’s cadaverous creations, and the decomposing abominations that overwhelmed the horror comics of Brazil. The contribution made by the black stars of classic horror cinema is consummately explored, digging out a few more of this atrophied brethren. But I can see you want more—so we have The Plague of Zombies in our Hammertime section, Fantaco’s macabre interpretation of Night of the Living Dead and the chilling Revenant from France. This decrepitude will have you frothing at the mouth, and it’s available especially for retro horror fans, by Tim Leese, Mark Voger, Steve & Michael Kronenberg, and editor Peter Normanton!”
