The year is 1945. The place is East Germany. Hitler has
succumbed to suicide and the war to end all wars is all but
finished. A secret cabal of Nazis has concocted an insane
plan—a plan to resurrect Hitler's soul from Hell and place
it within an earthly vessel. In order to achieve their
gruesome goal, the Nazis must first gather the world's most
fearsome monsters—Dracula, the werewolf, and Frankenstein's
monster. The old adage that "War is Hell" has never been
truer.
A seven-page War of the Undead prelude from Johnson and
Flanagan appears in IDW's Zombies: Eclipse of the Undead (an
unrelated tale of other undead, these the zombie kind) #1.
This exclusive story, featuring the Nazis' disastrous
efforts to convert the meek Dr. Jekyll to their cause, leads
directly into the debut issue in January.
"If you loved Karney, you'll want to marry and adopt a child
from Zimbabwe with War of the Undead,” said writer Bryan
Johnson, a screenwriter whose movie Vulgar has forever
changed the way people look at party clowns. He added, "A
comic featuring Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and The
Werewolf? It's the scariest menage a trois of the year, next
to me, Walt, and Ryall, that is."
War of the Undead #1 (Diamond Code NOV06 3665), a 32-page
full-color comic book, is the first issue of a three-part
miniseries debuting in January 2007.
