Escape of the Living Dead - Resurrected

The ultimate zombie graphic novel, John Russo's zombie epic is unveiled in this definitive collection! The co-writer of the classic film Night of the Living Dead brings his all-new zombie masterpiece to comics! All ten issues of the Escape of the Living Dead are collected into this one giant tome of terror. Included are the original 5 issue series, the 3 issue Airborne series, the Fearbook, and the Annual.

It's been three years since the blood soaked night that the dead rose from their graves, attacking and devouring the living. Now, the legacy of that horrific and unexplained event is about to be unleashed once again upon an unsuspecting world... With zombies once again roaming the Pennsylvania countryside, only a handful of individuals know that the horror has begun anew. This collected edition features a new cover by Mike Wolfer. Written by John Russo, art by Dheeraj Verma, cover by Mike Wolfer.

Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths

The career-spanning short works of Alan Moore are collected in this tome — with over 50 pages of additional material not in the original mini-series. Added in are fascinating obscure interviews about the man, his craft, and magic, as well as essays from Moore himself and loads of additional new artwork. Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths features tons of Moore’s classic short sequential comic book stories; stories that have been long out of print, that have never before been seen, and special developmental sections with original script pages and comments from Moore and the creators.

Included is the amazing Nightjar (with art by the great Bryan Talbot), plus many more tales illustrated by Talbot, Juan Jose Ryp, Val Semieks, Mike Wolfer, Marat Mychaels, Hunt Emerson, and Jacen Burrows. Rounding out the works is a piece that is vital to any Alan Moore collection: I Keep Coming Back, a coda to the masterpiece From Hell, with art by Oscar Zarate.

This massive volume also includes an extensive interview with Moore, plus Antony Johnston’s Yuggoth Creatures, a work inspired by Yuggoth Cultures and the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, with art by Ryp, Burrows, Dheeraj Verma, and many more.

In a world where a deadly disease transforms innocent victims into Zombies, a long dormant government task force is called to action: The Federal Vampire and Zombie Agency.

Throughout history, from the Civil War to World War II, the FVZA protected humanity from the blood-sucking, flesh-eating hordes -- until a cure was discovered that sent the undead to their graves. When a new incurable strain of the virus ravages a small town in America, Agent Landra Pecos must call upon her lethal skills to eradicate the threat. But as Landra delves deeper into her investigation of the undead menace, she uncovers shocking secrets that will change her life forever.

Based on the popular website FVZA.org and written by comics superstar David Hine (Civil War: X-Men, Spider-Man Noir, Arkham Asylum).

Vincent Price as Egghead in Batman

Egghead was a villain created for the 1960s Batman television series. Played by horror film mainstay Vincent Price, the character was identifiable by his pale bald head and white and yellow suit. He believed himself to be "the world's smartest criminal," and his crimes would usually have an egg-motif to them as well as including egg puns in his speech where appropriate such as "egg-zactly" and "egg-cellent." Additionally, he would use a wide assortment of egg-shaped weapons, such as laughing gas eggs and tear gas eggs (laid by chickens on a diet of onions).

Trivia:
* Egghead's diet consists entirely of Triple Grade A eggs.

* Egghead's egg-o is so large, he actually employs a secretary to transcribe every word he says.

* Egghead was one of only two Batman 1960s series villains to deduce the real identity of Batman/Bruce Wayne. Reasoning that the enormous egg-spense involved would point to only one of three Gotham City millionaires who would be of the right age as Batman and deducing that two could not be the Caped Crusader (one has a French accent, which Batman does not have, and the other is a southpaw, whereas Batman is right-handed), the last, Bruce Wayne, must be Batman. Before he can confirm this, Bruce Wayne's ward Dick Grayson shorts out Egghead's memory egg-straction machine.

* The Narrator refers to Egghead as the "world's greatest criminal mind", a title that would later become the title and theme song for Vincent's character, Ratigan, in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective.

* Vincent Price often spoke of his pleasure at playing "Egghead" on the Batman television series. Yvonne Craig (Batgirl), often said Price was her favorite co-star.

* In an often-repeated anecdote from the set of Batman, Price, after a take was printed, started throwing eggs at series stars Adam West and Burt Ward, and when asked to stop replied, "With a full artillery? Not a chance!", causing an eggfight to erupt on the soundstage. This incident is reenacted in the behind-the-scenes telefilm Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt.
