The final stand against the living dead...
"Rearguard" takes us to a world where nothing is left but the living, the dead, and those are neither one. In A Tribute Anthology to Deadworld and Gary Reed, editor Lori Perkins has collected stories that take place in the Deadworld universe. Deadworld is a graphic novel series that started in 1986 (and continues to this day) that follows survivors in a post-apocalyptic world brought on by zombie attacks led by King Zombie. My story "Rearguard" was short-listed for a Scribe Award from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers.
Thirty years before The Walking Dead hit the TV screen, a zombie apocalypse transformed the graphic novel tradition.

In this tribute anthology to Deadworld, and its publisher Gary Reed, editor Lori Petersen has collected stories that take place in the Deadworld universe. One of them is my story, “Rearguard”.
