The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a comic book that you can read quite quickly and it’s the first that I read by this author. This is a sort of journalistic reportage with episodes about the zombie phenomenon in human history: manifestation, distribution, transmission and in many cases instruction on how to stop it (in fact removal of all infected). Funny, graphically well done, but the short number of pages saved it from boredom. A little longer and it would be too repetitive. Nice, I think I'll try to read other stories of the author. This is a graphic novel from Max Brooks who is the authority on the undead. It recounts historical accounts of singular or mass zombie attacks and the subsequent cover-ups and obliteration of the infection. It is very well written and illustrated. The pictures will make you cringe. Having read World War Z, Recorded Attacks gives a haunting foreshadowing of things to come. It shows our ignorance and reaction to the infection, the attempted weaponization of infection, and tells the things we have done to further set our destiny. The read was a quick one. The small amount of text and gritty illustrations will propel you through the pages. In a time when zombie literature seems to be a cash cow for poor artists to saturate the market, Max Brooks has proved to be the best at telling our story as well. Coupled with Ibraim Roberson's art, this is a must read for zombie enthusiasts.
