Comic-book fans devoted enough to read only Marvel titles have long been dubbed "Marvel Zombies," but even the most passionate reader could not have predicted the runaway popularity of the MARVEL ZOMBIES limited series and its subsequent spin-offs. A shocking, spellbinding tale of a Marvel Universe infected by a worldwide zombie plague, this fascinating saga sent readers racing to comic-book shops - resulting in an unprecedented number of multiple printings for each issue. Arthur Suydam's unforgettable covers have been a huge factor in the MARVEL ZOMBIES phenomenon, with many devoted fans purchasing all the issues' multiple printings for that reason alone. Now, each and every one of those covers is collected in a single keepsake edition in all their gory detail, along with a horde of never-before-seen extras! Also featuring the zombie-themed covers of Greg Land (ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR) and Kyle Hotz (ZOMBIE)! [Featuring The Artwork Of Arthur Suydam, Greg Land and Kyle Hotz.]
The last time we saw Simon Garth, the bank teller single-handedly stopped a gang of murderous robbers and got shot, bitten by zombies and med-evac-ed straight into Army custody for scientific experimentation as death and the necrotic infection overtook him fast. No problem, right? Find out how Simon got out of THAT one - assuming he did - and check out his further adventures battling the undead - unless, that is, he's one of them now - in a brutal, gory, disgusting...awesome re-imagining of one of Marvel's strangest horror heroes, that could only be dreamed up by artist/co-writer Kyle Hotz (ZOMBIE) and Eric Powell (The Goon)!

"Robert Kirkman just knocked the ball out of the park and made this book his own" - Mark Millar (The Ultimates) It first came from the skies - a horrific virus that turned nearly every man, woman and child on Earth into undead zombies. Even Marvel's greatest heroes - including Captain America, Spider-Man and the Hulk - have succumbed, driven only by one mindless goal: to feed on human flesh. But with only a small number of survivors remaining against this unstoppable tide of hunger, what happens when the zombie's finally run out of humans to eat?! Comic-book fans devoted enough to read only Marvel titles have long been dubbed "Marvel Zombies," but even the most passionate reader could not have predicted the astounding success of this series. Writer Robert Kirkman, known for his best-selling horror series The Walking Dead, crafts a shocking, spellbinding tale of a Marvel Universe infected by a worldwide zombie plague. Veteran artist Sean Phillips fleshes out Kirkman's tale, ably transforming once-familiar Marvel heroes into disturbing visions of decaying flesh and rotting bones. Collecting MARVEL ZOMBIES #1-5.
