Zombie Hordes Overrun War-Ravaged Vietnam as '"68 Compendium' Paperback is Locked-And-Loaded for Halloween

This Agent Orange-dusted Hell-ride includes all 752 pages of the cult military-horror series where grunts face off against Charlie and the undead

The zombies are back in the razorwire with the locked-and-loaded release of the complete ’68 Compendium by Mark Kidwell, Nat Jones, and Jay Fotos—a blood-soaked monster of a paperback collecting all 30 issues of Vietnam jungle-scorched mayhem. Image Comics drops the payload this October—just in time for Halloween.

On February 13, 1968, during the darkest days of the Vietnam War, the gates of Hell opened wide, unleashing new and hungry life into the countless war-torn dead. Junkyard Joe meets The Walking Dead in this military-horror mashup.

From the original ’68 one-shot, to the first four-issue miniseries, the introduction and first appearance of the legendary "Jungle Jim" and beyond, ’68 Compendium is the definitive ’68 collection and offers up every red, dripping bit. The entire series, the one-shots, and the short backup stories, are all included in full jaw-snapping, flesh-rending color. Fans should get “small” in their foxhole and keep their powder dry.

"It’s been a long time coming," said Fotos. "I’m very excited to get this compendium out to the world!"

Kidwell added: "It's great to see '68 rise again, in all its gory glory, collected into one massive volume! Perfect Halloween read!"

’68 Compendium paperback (ISBN: 9781534332126, Lunar Code 0825IM0456) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 8 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 21.

’68 comics are also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play, and Omnibus.
