Christmas Comes Early This Year With MARVEL ZOMBIES CHRISTMAS CAROL!
Marvel is proud to announce that fan favorite artist, David Baldeon
(Young Allies), will be joining red hot writer Jim McCann for the
walking dead tale that has fans on the edge of their seats in
anticipation - Marvel Zombies Christmas Carol #1 (of 5)! Guaranteed to
make you even more afraid of things that go bump in the night, Marvel's
twist on the acclaimed Charles Dickens tale will send chills down your
spine! As the Hungry Death consumes the land, Ebeneezer Scrooge must be
sent back to Christmases past with his undead friend Jacob Marley to
learn the origin of this vicious scourge.
"When we started working on this idea, I was amazed at how well the
original text worked in with the concept of the undead. We've taken a
way to introduce 'zombies' in a Victorian manner, keeping with the
chilling tale Dickens crafted in the 1800s," said writer Jim McCann. "I
think that David's amazing designs show you how well it will look. We
aren't going for campiness or shoving zombies into a popular story, but
for true Victorian horror...and a small glimmer of hope that lies in one
man's cold heart: Scrooge!"
Artist David Baldeon adds, "This book is not about drawing zombies just
because they're fun. It's about the characters, the horror, and a fresh
yet horrifying look at Victorian terror while following along the lines
of Jim's great script. It's about giving this book its own atmosphere
and feel and making it look like no other version of Christmas Carol
ever has."
Can Scrooge, a man who has never known happiness, make it back from
Christmas Past in time to see what the Hungry Death has done to the
present and future? Find out this May when Marvel Zombies Christmas
Carol #1 (of 5) hits comics shops everywhere. God help us, every one!
