VIVA EL MUERTO

VIVA EL MUERTO: The Aztec Zombie Anthology 1998-2023 collects 17 stories featuring El Muerto (and a few co-starring his creator Javier Hernandez) published over the 25 year history of the character. Short stories, gag comics, team-ups, cross overs... even a few autobiographic pieces. Among the stories reprinted here are El Muerto's first appearance from 1998, his crossover into the Baldo newspaper strip, the mini-comic that was included with the El Muerto movie DVD, the first appearances of Manga Muerto, Cochito and San Patricio and so much more! The comics are produced in b&w, some are toned in gray, and some appear in full color!

Also included is a guest artist pinup gallery featuring 13 stunning interpretations of El Muerto by an eclectic variety of contributors. Alex Grand (Understanding Superhero Comic Books) provides a Foreword, Marvel and Archie artist Steven Butler contributes an Introduction, and Professor Mathew Sandoval writes an essay "The Cultural Legacy of El Muerto".

If you're new to the world of El Muerto, or have been following along since his beginning in 1998 there will still be some new comics in here you haven't seen!
