What is it about zombies that keeps us coming back for more? Part of their appeal lies in their symbolic nature – they represent fears about society, humanity, and the unknown. Whether it’s grappling with issues of morality, survival, or even environmental collapse, zombie stories allow us to explore these anxieties in an intense, fictional setting. The graphic novel format, in particular, offers a visually dynamic way to experience these themes through vivid, horrifying imagery.
Some zombie graphic novels take the classic tropes and twist them into fresh narratives. iZombie by Chris Roberson, for instance, combines supernatural noir with zombies, ghosts, and werewolves in a detective-style story. Meanwhile, The Last Zombie by Brian Keene takes readers on a journey through a world where the zombie outbreak has mostly ended, and the remnants of humanity face their final struggles. These graphic novels redefine what it means to survive a zombie apocalypse.
