The Zombies that Ate the World #1

by Jerry Frissen, Guy Davis (Illustrator), Charlie Kirchoff (Illustrator)

Overview

Los Angeles, 2064. In a world where humans have to live along the living dead, a new job opportunity arises: zombie catcher. Karl Neard, his sister Maggie, and his Belgian friend Freddy Merckx, all embrace this "career" in the hope of making easy money. Unfortunately, the job is not that simple: not only are the "dead" still walking, but they also have a terrible stench and an awful sense of humor. As a matter of fact, zombies just don't care about anything as their lives are behind them and they now have an eternity to enjoy what is left of the world. Karl and his team will quickly find this fact out as they end up surrounded by all sorts of ghoulish freaks.

About the Author

Jerry Frissen (born Thierry Frissen in Belgium) is an American comic book writer and toy&graphic designer. He is the senior graphic designer at Humanoids as well as the author of several best-selling graphic novels, including the anthology comic book series "Lucha Libre" ("Unfabulous Five," "The Tikitis"), "The Zombies That Ate The World" ("The Z Word") and the new cycle of the internationally acclaimed series "The Metabarons," co-written with Alejandro Jodorowsky and illustrated by Valentin Sécher, Niko Henrichon and Esad Ribic, under the title "The Metabaron."

Self-taught Michigan-based artist Guy Davis had his first cartoon strip published in his hometown newspaper during high school. He teamed up with publisher Gary Reed and realized Baker Street, which featured an alternative Sherlock Holmes mythos where Victorian England is populated with punks. He contributed to many Caliber projects such as Sinergy, Book of the Tarot and Caliber Presents. Then he worked with Matt Wagner on the Sandman Mystery Theatre, which featured dreams of a grisly crime. More assignments from the major publishers followed, and Davis' credits include titles like Hellblazer, Batman for DC, Grendel, Aliens, Hellboy spinoff B.P.R.D. for Dark Horse and Fantastic Four: Unstable Molecules for Marvel. He continued his own comic The Marquis at Oni Press and drew The Zombies that Ate the World, written by Jerry Frissen for Humanoids. He has also created character sheets and chapter illustrations for White Wolf Games. Davis is a frequent collaborator of filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro.
Charlie Kirchoff has been working as a comic book colorist since 2003 when he got his first job coloring segments of Humanoids' Metal Hurlant. He was lucky enough to land that job just as he was finishing up his BFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then he has worked for several publishers including Dark Horse, IDW, Image, and others. Over the last few years, Kirchoff has been coloring the Doctor Who titles for IDW, for which he is the most frequent contributor to, as well as had the honor of writing a one-shot issue in 2009.
