About the Author

Gregory K. Smith grew up in a culturally diverse household. He was smitten with books at an early age when his Assistant Librarian mother brought him to work during summer breaks. Later, his father got him into Boy Scouts, where he achieved Eagle Scout Rank.

Michael Tanner was born in Great Falls, Montana—a thriving metropolis that is actually smaller than the neighborhood of Los Angeles that he currently resides in. He has a BA in Theater and Television Production from the Evergreen State College, which is also where he met Greg Smith. Michael developed a love for comics at a very early age and credits the medium with expanding his vocabulary and imagination. His first published comic work was in the Oni Press anthology Jam! Tales from the World of Roller Derby. He feels incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity to work in a field that he loves.

Zach Lehner graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008 with a B.A. in Sequential Art and again with a Masters in 2010. This is his first graphic novel. He lives in northern Chicago, where he reads a lot of books.

Editorial Reviews

FOREWORD — When the Junior Braves of Roseland,
Washington, a diverse, Boy Scout-like group of preteens and teens, get back from a weeklong wilderness camping trip, they expect to return to video games, caring parents, and relatively easy suburban lives. They don't expect to return to find the zombie apocalypse has taken over their town. It'll take all of their courage, resourcefulness, and Junior Brave knowledge to escape the clutches of undead monsters and track down their missing parents. This thrilling adventure will keep readers biting their nails on the edge of their seats, while the black, white, and green tricolor illustrations evocatively portray what sure seems to be the end times.
