SYNOPSIS

Los Angeles, 2064.

The world changed, the deads get out of their graves, the corpses live again.
Due to the increasing number of the living dead population, the government must adapt some laws which oblige the livings to co-exist with the deads.
Karl Neard and his sister Maggie will find, in this state of fact, the occasion to take advantage of their imagination proposing useful little jobs as , for example : finding a means to get rid of a relative who was dead a while ago but who became to much in the way, or hunting previously died stars for rich collectors ...

REVIEW

"THE ZOMBIES THAT ATE THE WORLD - VOL. 1 A DREADFUL SMELL", a title that pays honour to the long titles of the 60's / 70's B series just like the cover, created just like a movie poster. From the reading of the preface by Jean-Pierre Dionnet, we have at once the longing to know what is hidden in this comic book by Guy Davis from a scenario by Jerry Frissen.

"THE ZOMBIES THAT ATE THE WORLD" looks like a sketch movie like "TALES FROM THE CRYPT" or "CREEPSHOW", but in a drawn format. In this first volume, four provocative stories, full of humour, fresh and above all politically incorrect reveals us the life of Karl Neard. It's horrifically funny and the cue of the characters go from very rude to very ludicrous ("Being Belgian is like walking in shit with shoes with studs, it sticks", "I have a theory about sport shoes, the most expensive they are, the most your feet stink").

Useless to say that we loved it! This first volume gets read to fast, unfortunately, and we're waiting for the next one with impatience!!!

"Twilight news items like hundreds that take place each day in Los Angeles in 2064".
