Armored against the living with a Bowie knife and a mobile arsenal. If you got left behind…he’ll find you. If you’re the enemy…you’ll never see him coming. If you’re a zombie…he’ll kill you again. Sometimes, to slay monsters…you have to become one yourself. Jungle Jim is a stand-alone one-shot comic story set in the grim world of ’68.”
