DEDICATION
to

Comics Arts Conference chair Kathleen McClancy and founders Peter Coogan and Randy Duncan, without whom I would never have met many of this book’s outstanding contributors.

SPECIAL THANKS
to

Richard Matheson (I Am Legend, 1954 novel), George A. Romero, and John Russo (Night of the Living Dead, 1968 film), and Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead, comic book since 2003) for feeding our hunger for tales of undead that hunger for us.
