A Fond Look At Old School Zombie Comics

Zombie comics absolutely do not begin and end with The Walking Dead, and undead tales from the Golden and Silver age featured some truly amazing cover art and storylines that had to be more than just a bloody gorefest.

Zombies: The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics is a vintage collection edited by Craig Yoe and Steve Banes that's sure to please both the avid horror historians and those recently converted by the modern zombie craze.

Eddie's characterization of Mr. Hope is correct - he was the most popular and beloved comedian of the 20th Century. What a giant he was, and, in his time, he conquered every medium that existed.

But, as time goes by, what I find most amazing about Mr. Hope is how he has - in a fairly short time - gone from being arguably the most famous man in the world, to being almost completely forgotten. I am reminded of the great quote from Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.:

“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”
