Our historical tour of Zombie History concludes with some great games and literature. Feel free to dive right in and test your survival skills or verse yourself in how to survive should the inevitable come.
Today we continue our examination of Great Moments in Zombie History with your curator @Zombologist. right about now you might be asking yourself what qualifies Zombologist for that title? How does one get a PHD in Zombology?
In college, I majored in Micro-Biology and Anthropology. On one of my excursions into the heart of the South American rainforests, I discovered an indigenous group of people who swore to me they were experiencing a series of attacks from seemingly reanimated individuals. When I went out into the woods to track them, I found myself surrounded. From reading books and watching movies, I had a fairly good sense of the way a zombie acts and smells. The next three years held some of the most unpleasent yet informative moments of my life. Living amongst them, acclimating to their habits and learning to hunt with them as a horde changed my life.
So if you still don’t believe I’m qualified to mark these momentous occasions of Undead History, I challenge you to go live three years amongst the Zeds and see what you write about.

Yours truly
People ask me why I love zombies as much as I do. They jokingly ask me if I have a plan to survive, they wonder how much material I’ve absorbed. It’s the one thing I will nerd rage about, almost on command.
For me, zombies represent horror in isolation. It’s not how you will survive; it’s whether you even want to. The scariest thing about the zombie apocalypse is the battle against your own wits. From our little outside bubble, we can say we would have shot that zombie, or shut that door, but would we? Would it be possible for us? How many of us would freeze up?
In celebration of the profound moral implications and horrifying dramatizations zombies have brought to our world, I present to you a few great moments in my personal catalogue of zombie history:

Vashti from theREDr
Today’s EPIC WINSDAY features an artist that had a booth at Long Beach Comicon. I met Jerrell there, a humble guy, good sense of humor with some great table pieces. theREDr is his baby, conceived out of a school project, Jerrell took things to the next level and ran with the comic.

Welcome to the coolest Science book you've ever read
Let me come right out and admit it, I’m NOT a science guy, but I confess to owning a copy of The Elements by Theodore Gray.

Last week’s Lego post, featuring the awesome Nathan Sawaya, was such a hit that I thought I’d try it out again.
Taj Mahal By Kevin Davis
Kevin Davis is an artist I’m fortunate enough to know personally, and I can tell you he’s a quirky and creative guy. Going to Kevin’s house, you notice subtle things. The perfect living room with the case of Nightmare Before Christmas Toys, the clean pool room with the giant thumb tack table.
These are the marks of an artist at play. Kevin is wrapping up a project called Refrigeratorville, a flash cartoon about a mysterious virus that is rotting all of the food in the fridge at a rapid rate. You can see the trailer for the project here.
Hit the jump to see the interview with Kevin and more of his amazing artwork!
