One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate.

You know, even if this wasn’t a contractually obliged Avatar Plug Of The Week, I’d have run it anyway. The cover to tomorrow’s Night Of The Living Dead: Death Valley #3 has a wraparound cover taken from Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. And, if you look carefully you can see a bunch of Avatar boys, Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Max Brooks, Matt Martin, Mark Seifert, Mike Wolfer, Dheeraj Verma, George Romero, Jacen Burrows, John Russo, and publisher William Christensen on the far right there.
The other covers and preview of the issue by Mike Wolfer and Dheeraj Verma are below…
After a day of total abandon under the hot, California sun, a group of dune buggy enthusiasts settle in for a night of partying around the campfire. But as the sun begins to set on Death Valley, the long shadows of the living dead begin to creep forth from the darkness, ready to envelope all in their path in an orgy of evil! Christine, whose father was the famed TV newsman who warned the country of the zombie plague one year earlier, is wrestling with her own demons of the past, as hot-rodder ex-boyfriend Don makes his final plea for reconciliation. It could be a night of new beginnings… If not for the insane actions of a cult hidden in the surrounding mountains, whose stomach-turning ritual is about to unleash an evil upon the region that will not be contained! Written by Mike Wolfer this blood-drenched five-issue series features the return of Dheeraj (Escape of the Living Dead) Verma. Don’t miss all the terrifying covers, Michael Dipascale paints the Regular edition, Mike (Gravel) Wolfer horrifies with the Wraparound cover, and twisted Matt Martin splatters the Gore covers all over the page.
