WANTED SCREENWRITER CHRIS MORGAN WRITES
ZOMBIE TALES #4 ON STANDS TODAY!


August 28th, 2008 - Los Angeles, CA - Chris Morgan, the screenplay writer of the Hollywood blockbuster WANTED will be writing an issue of BOOM! Studios' successful anthology series ZOMBIE TALES. Featuring three different artists, this self-contained issue is guaranteed to terrify and please fans of the series as well as give new readers a great launching on point to these instant cult classics!

ZOMBIE TALES #4 is a special book-length adventure from Christopher Morgan, co-writer of the controversial SALEM: QUEEN OF THORNS and screenwriter of WANTED with his brother Terry Morgan! Three separate chapters by three different artists - Gabriel Hardman, Minck Oosterveer, and Jason Ho - chronicle the birth, life and death of a young Japanese soldier who seeks only to defend his village and his family from the zombie hordes who surround his island!

Pre-release reviews have been very strong:

"The unique art style, combined with the well developed story continuing through the chapters makes this a book you'll read in one sitting, but likely go back to savor in time." - Newsarama

"Great storytelling... the dialogue, and descriptions of the scenes, everything flows perfectly with this style of story. On top of all of that we also have a great team of artists... once again another great anthology piece put out there by BOOM! Studios." - Project Fanboy

"After reading Chris' ZOMBIE TALES and SALEM, you know this guy has tapped into the essence of the horror and fantasy genres," said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid. "But what separates Chris from other people with that ability is that he's a great professional writer, who brings high quality stories to whatever medium or genre he happens to be writing for."

Chris Morgan and SALEM: QUEEN OF THORNS was featured on G4TV during Comic-Con International. BOOM! recently posted a behind the scenes footage to their website here: http://blog.boom-studios.net/2008/08/chris-morgan-brought-g4-to-boom/

ZOMBIE TALES #4 features covers by art by Minck Oosterveer and Marco Rudy and was released today.
