Night of the Walking Dead!

Part 3 in our look at the origins of zombie hero Simon Garth from the 1973 debut issue of Tales of the Zombie #1. As the cover blurb on later issues from this series states, "He lives! He strikes! No grave can hold him!" and for a total of 10 brutal issues he proved just that, in what is easily one of the better and strangely underrated Marvel Magazine series of the early 70's. Got lots more black and white horror coming up too, as I've decided to just finish out the month of February sans color.

The Altar of the Damned!

Now that you've read Stan Lee and Bill Everett's classic "Zombie!" (see our last post HERE) aren't you just a wee bit curious to know how Simon Garth became one of the living dead? Well look no further, because the 1973 World Screamiere issue of Tales of the Zombie #1 delivered just that-- and some bare female flesh too (is anyone still complaining about Donna Garth's make-over from her Golden Age appearence into a mod blonde bombshell?!)

NEXT: More Simon Garth-- and daughter Donna too!
