John Russo Books Overview

Night of the Living Dead

A prequel to the original film from the original creator and co writer John Russo! You’ve heard the eyewitness accounts and were shocked by the television reports, but now for the first time you’ll experience the horrifying events which led to that first Night of the Living Dead! A strange mist brings the unburied dead back to life, hungry for the flesh of the living. This incredible prequel to the blockbuster classic 1968 Night of the Living Dead film gives new insight into many of the film’s characters and locations, including horrific encounters at the farm house and Beekman’s diner, and introduces, for the first time, the Cemetery Zombie, Sheriff McClellan, the zombie girl Karen, and NOTLD hero Ben.

Return of the Living Dead

After a bus turns over in a quiet American town, the entire country is thrown into the grip of the hands of the dead or undead. No one is safe from the flesh eating ghouls who have risen from their deathbeds to feed on the living. As the horror spreads, the blood begins to flow.

Escape Of The Living Dead: Resurrected

In 1968, a blood soaked night of terror began when the dead rose from their graves to devour the living. In the three years since, horrible experiments have taken place deep inside the concrete walls of a secret medical facility. Now, the untimely intervention of unwitting authorities sets free the dea to walk among the living once more. Can anything possibly stop this new, gut ripping tide of carnage? John Russo, the co creator of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, brings his new zombie masterpiece to comics, aided by horror comic legend Mike Wolfer.

Night of the Living Dead Vol 2

The most horrifying night in American history continues as the next chapter of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is revealed by writers Mike Wolfer GRAVEL, WOLFSKIN and John Russo, the co writer of the original film classic! Set on the fateful evening in 1968 when shocking reports flood the airwaves with accounts of the dead rising up to kill the living, officials in Washington struggle to quell the panic stricken public as thousands of anti war protesters converge on Capitol Hill. With the National Guard spread impossibly thin to deal with civil unrest, Washington is completely unprepared as an unstoppable army of the undead brings its bloodthirsty reign of terror to the steps of the White House!
