Those who don't learn from zombie history are condemned to repeat it...From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have threatened to engulf the human race. They're coming, and they're hungry.
This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake...every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories - complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead.
Organise before they rise! Scripted by the world's leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, Recorded Attacks reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with - and survived - the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.
'A tome you start reading for fun and then at page 50 you go out and buy a machete just to be on the safe side'New York Post
'An absolute must-have... Brooks infuses his writing with such precise detail and authenticity, one wonders if he knows something we don't' Simon Pegg onWorld War Z
'Max Brooks is so straightforward, so sensible and logical about everything, that you start to believe him when he begins talking about the necessary steps needed for an average American to outlast a worldwide plague of flesh eating zombies. This practical approach is exactly what makes his book so funny'Fangoria
