Time to enter the… Brains… Of Darkness with ’68 Compendium from Image Comics, a new volume that will collect all 30 issues of the Vietnam War-set zombie series.
Created by Mark Kidwell, Nat Jones, and Jay Fotos, the new trade will include the ’68 one-shot, the first four-issue miniseries, and much more. It all kicks off on, per PR, “February 13, 1968, during the darkest days of the Vietnam War, the gates of Hell opened wide, unleashing new and hungry life into the countless war-torn dead. Junkyard Joe meets The Walking Dead in this military-horror mashup.”
Said Fotos via press release, “It’s been a long time coming. I’m very excited to get this compendium out to the world!”
Added Kidwell, “It’s great to see ’68 rise again, in all its gory glory, collected into one massive volume! Perfect Halloween read!”
’68 was first published in 2006 by Image, then republished in 2011 and ran through five miniseries and six one-shots. It has been previously collected in six trade paperbacks, though the new Compendium collects all the issues together in one place for the first time.
’68 Compendium hits comic book stores on October 8 and book stores on October 21. Check out two preview pages and the covers below.
