Zombie #22: Matt Wright

The guys at Unshaven Comics are marketing savants. Their sales pitch for their latest book when I met them (probably expired by now) was "Buy our book and we'll draw you as a zombie in our next." Woah-- They could have sold me anything.
The book, The March: Crossing Bridges in America is an awesome read and I highly recommend everyone pick it up. It's about a handful of families that participated in a peaceful protest of tightening immigration laws in Chicago, 2006. It's about their different perspectives but ultimately their similarities. How they go from this to Zombie fiction, I'll just have to wait and see.
The zombie above was drawn by the resident artist for Unshaven, Matt Wright. Those colors really do pop like that in real life, and it totally works. Thanks for the zombie, Matt!

Zombie #21: Paul Allen Ballard

Paul Allen Ballard is a freelance illustrator who does all sorts of awesome stuff including sketch cards, collectible card game art, Star Wars promotional stuff, and the thing that really grabbed my attention, the covers for the comic book Zombies of Mass Destruction. They could each be a movie poster. I would hang each of those covers on my wall, especially number 3. Zombies of Mass Destruction is written by the creator of the Underworld movie franchise, and has itself been acquired for movie rights. It's about zombies being used as WMDs, which I personally think is a fantastic idea.
Check out Paul's blog for higher res images of those awesome covers. Thanks for the amazing sketch/painting, Paul!

Zombie #20: Jason Yungbluth

Jason Yungbluth is a writer for Mad Magazine, and creator of the comics Deep Fried and Weapon Brown. Deep Fried is an ensemble of Sunday comics gone mad, both in web and paper comic formats. The craziest of these is Weapon Brown, a post-apocalyptic Charlie Brown that you really have to see firsthand.
The zombie above is a zombified version of Clarissa, a little girl who has a very bleak outlook.
Thanks for the zombie Jason!

Zombie #19: Jason Moody

Jason Moody is the artist for a comic called Scarlet Veronica. It comes out in the fall, and it looks like it's going to be pretty fierce. It's about this zombie girl who... fights evil? I can't say that for certain. I do know that she's definitely undead, and the previews are looking pretty slick. Check out this trailer and the preview pages.
Thanks Jason!

Zombie #18: Ken Haeser

Ken Haeser sketched this zombie for me. Ken is the artist for The Living Corpse, about a zombie who breaks free of the insatiable desire for brains, and begins fighting for good. There are only a handful of issues out, but it's already being made into a major motion picture by Shoreline Entertainment. I am definitely looking forward to it.
Congratulations Ken, and thanks for the Zombie.

Zombie #17: David Petersen

I still cannot believe that David Petersen provided me with this sketch. Just look at the thing; the tattered mouse ear, the limp arm. Even at 21x the height of a little zombie like this, I'd be terrified of seeing this guy shambling across the forest floor towards me.
David is the creator of the Mouse Guard series, which is phenomenal in every aspect. I highly recommend that you go out and pick up the first book, Fall 1152. It's an instant classic, and rumor has it that a movie is in the works.
Thank you so much for doing such an atrocious thing to one of your beloved creations, David.

Zombie #16: Christopher Mitten

Christopher Mitten is the artist responsible for Wasteland. Wasteland is incredible. It's vast, it's epic, and there are sand-eaters. Sand-eaters are like zombies, except they're probably alive and they have really sharp teeth. Read the first, double-sized issue for free.
Christopher is also the illustrator for Queen & Country: Declassified, Vol. 3, Past Lies, The Tomb, and Last Exit Before Toll; all of which are published by Oni Press, so each have a descent-sized preview online.
Thanks Christopher!
