MARCHING ZOMBIES!


Here's a frightful fearjerker for you: "Marching Zombies" from BLACK CAT MYSTERY #35 (Harvey, May 1952). A wild and bizarre tale about zombies in -- of all places -- Asia. Illustrated by the incomparable Rudy Palais, this is one of those stories that helped give pre-Code horror comics a bad rap.

All the stories in this issue were reprinted in BLACK CAT MYSTERY #53 (December 1954).
