Although completely discordant on the surface, zombies and comedy complement one another immensely and have a long history of doing so. This collection of three funny zombie stories nods to that tradition and continues it. Waste Not - The coming of zombies forces humankind back to the land, to a simple lifestyle where 'Waste Not, Want Not' becomes more than a motto, it becomes the key to survival. And revenge. Feeders - The zombie apocalypse will affect more than just humans, explore the repercussions of walking dead through the eyes of a cat in this story guaranteed to make you smile. ...Oh My - What if the Wicked Witch of the West wasn't killed by Dorothy's house? What if she couldn't be, because she was a zombie. Dun dun dun

A teenage couple who will never grow up, and married couples together too long. The epitome of beauty, and a dream of dragons. A unique Christmas tree, and the secret behind the Clauses' immortality. Seen in with a not-quite-mad hatter, and out with a wish for the dawn, the tenth issue of Niteblade brings back some of the year's favourites. Along with tales based on an image by Marge Simon, this collection of stories and poems plays around the edges of naughty and nice.
