So The Walking Dead teevee series. Rick comes upon a little zombie girl holding a teddybear on his way to Atlanta. In Atlanta Glen refers to zombies as "geeks". The show both times was paying homage to the first zombie apocalypse title, Dead World (Brother Voodoo doesn't count). Vincent Locke, of Cannibal Corpse's "Butchered at Birth" album cover's art, was a principle artist for the first several issues. Anyone familiar with this? Attachments:

the covers are cool. i don't know much about graphic novels . i'm surprised that zombie books don;t go further back like before the comics code .i know their were zombie movies back in thirties . they were voo-doo zombies not flesh eating zombies but zombies non the less . by the way if you keep posting things you'll leave your luddite past behind

Wulfman, if you like the comic books, search for these. I gave up on the series only because it was so hard to follow the title. Their first two publishers, Arrow and Calliber both went out of business. I believe some five companies have published this series.
And LS, the reanimated dead in comic books predate the comics code. You might want to wikia that one, another ugly legacy of the chicken-hearted fifties, the lamest decade in American history. But yeah, zombies were used in every decade, but the first ongoing zombie apocalypse title was Dead World.

i know that horroe comics in general before the comics for a non graphic novel reader i am no way entirely ignorant on the subject . comics seem to overlap with many of interests. the zombies before the code; were they mostly voodoo zombies/?

Yeah, there were Vodun zombie comics before the code. Romero is the father of the non-Vodun walking dead, so the undead paradigm in comics started to lean away from Vodun and more to the more familiar undead of today during the 1970s and on.
I don't know what you have read, so for a laugh check out Marvel's 1970s Brother Voodoo.
