For a number of years a good friend and I have been kicking around ideas for a comic book project based on the Blind Dead film series from the 70's.
His name is David Zuzelo and he has been a virtual mentor for me through the groovy transgressive landscape of obscure and wonderful horror films from the 60's and 70's. Since I've been obsessed with this stuff from a young age Ive always thought of myself as knowledgeable- but believe me, Davids command of the subject is encyclopedic! His enthusiasm and pure love of the genre has been a constant source of inspiration for me. He's got a blog that I read daily.
Our first of what I hope will be a long series of collaborations is a comic book adaptation of his brilliant short story Ascension of the Blind Dead. Read his full text version here here. And Stay tuned for more of the comic series.

Did not see Blind dead film of David Zuzelo once, but look fairly interesting.
Infancy, effort to be influenced deeply by film and tries reconfiguration by comic book now is really admirable.
Thanks bro, believe me-I'm really looking forward to every panel!
Fah, I'm certainly no expert-just someone that is way to curious for his own good! I'm hoping one day to open a library service just to start spreading all these films, many in danger of being lost forever, all over the place.
Badass Billy! Can't wait for more. Sometimes I feel like that guy in the chair. Looks great man
haha awesomely creepy!
