DEAD OF WINTER is a new horror-comedy mini-series based on the smash hit tabletop board games by
Plaid Hat Games. Featuring the talents of Eisner Award-nominated writer
Kyle Starks (
Rick and Morty, Rock Candy Mountain) and Eisner Award-nominated artist
Gabo (
The Life After, Elephantmen), and cover art illustrated by
Brian Hurtt and
Bill Crabtree (
The Sixth Gun, The Damned),
Dead of Winter arrives in comic shops this August. Fans and retailers can also look forward to a pretty freaking funny variant cover by
Erica Henderson (
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Jughead), as well.
In the pantheon of heroes, none are more lovable and loyal than everyone’s beloved good ol’ dog, Sparky. Surviving in the wintery apocalypse of the undead, this former TV star turned zombie killing machine just wants to make friends and be a good boy. As his fellow survivors scavenge for supplies in the frigid wasteland, will Sparky be able to protect his companions from threats both undead and not yet undead?
A hilarious mix of The Walking Dead and Airbud (no, really), the Dead of Winter comic series draws from the incredibly fun and diverse sandbox of characters from the hit board games, starring fan-favorite canine, Sparky the Stunt Dog.
