The Walking Cadaver
Yesterday we had the walking dead, today it’s the walking cadaver. Not RUNNING mind you, WALKING. I seem to remember back in the old days zombies used to walk, or just sort of stumble around... but nowadays it seems they can run, leap, boo-ga-loo, and sprint like they’re headed for the Olympics. Next they’ll be running for president. Ummm, wait a sec…

Looks like the work of Bob McCarty to me.
ReplyDeleteJack Davis influenced art here.
ReplyDeleteWalking is always a million times creepier than RUNNING.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER WEIRD AND COLORFUL CLASSIC.........I'M LOVING THE ZOMBIE THEME THIS WEEK!!
ReplyDeleteNOT SURE I AGREE WITH THE JACK DAVIS COMPARISON THOUGH.
>Walking is always a million times creepier than RUNNING.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yes... and walking with a bloody long intestine dangling from your mouth is even creepier.
Send more cops!
These wild, weird stories just continue to impress. You don't often get the chance to see a grim, death's head wraith shrieking at the sight of a normal human body. "AAAAIIIIEEEE!"
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice to know that the moment you die you become a skeletal ghost-lich. Unless you're Hiram Gehr, I guess. Good to know.
I meant to mention, the meat hooks on which he hangs the "rentals" are a very nice, very creepy touch.
ReplyDelete>I meant to mention, the meat hooks
ReplyDeleteYes, you definitely can't beat a good meat hook for hanging around.
Really great story!,nice art too,it's not swiped from Davis,just the cops.i also agree with the Vicar,you know your in for a thrill if the splash begins with a ghost/lich getting scared and complaining to a higher authority!.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for filling another of my requests! Would like to see more stories from this title also!
