BOOK SIX is part of the Deadworld Archive series that brings all of the original Deadworld saga into print for the first time in 25 years.

"Deadworld was hardcore. The violence was harsh, and writer Gary Reed's vision was dark." - Dana Tillusz, ComicReaders.

"...remarkably literate and starkly imaginative, and is a winner in every scene, in every shot, in every line of dialog." - The Lottery Party.

"If you like zombies, horror, and/or post-apocalyptic stories you should definitely be checking this series out." - Comicspectrum.
