Image Comics will release the ’68 Compendium paperback this October, gathering the entire 30-issue run of the cult military-horror comic from creators Mark Kidwell, Nat Jones, and Jay Fotos. The 752-page volume brings together the original one-shot, multiple miniseries, one-shots, and backup stories in a single edition.
Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, the series imagines the outbreak of a zombie apocalypse beginning on February 13, 1968. U.S. soldiers and the Viet Cong alike face a new battlefield threat as the war collides with the undead. Known for its blend of historical grit and graphic horror, ’68 has developed a reputation as one of the more distinctive takes on zombie comics.
The ’68 Compendium will be available in comic shops on October 8 and in bookstores on October 21, just in time for Halloween.
