BiographyHistory

'Australian graphic novelist Shane W. Smith was born in 1985. For quite a long time after this, nothing much happened. Then he got used to writing about himself in third person for bios like this. Before The Lesser Evil, his proudest professional moment was getting a comic book entitled Academaesthetics published in an A-ranked academic journal. His family makes up the remainder of his proud moments.

Shane has a Bachelor Degree in Creative Writing, with First Class Honours [University of Canberra]'.

'Brett Buckley was a normal family man once. When he unexpectedly turned undead, he struggled to regain the love and respect of his wife and kids... a struggle he ultimately lost in a single moment of weakness that cost him everything.

'Now, after months of estrangement, and still trapped in the limbo between life and death, Brett is propelled suddenly back into family life to face his greatest challenge yet: becoming the primary carer for his children.

'More than just another zombie story, Undad Volume Three is about the challenges of facing down what really scares you, while being (literally) dead inside.'
