Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat
it.
From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have
threatened to engulf the human race. They’re coming. They’re
hungry.
Don’t wait for them to come to you!
This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks
from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the
legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake . . .
every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic
stories–complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the
hideous faces of the undead.
Organize before they rise!
Scripted by the world’s leading zombie authority, Max Brooks,
Recorded Attacks reveals how other eras and cultures have
dealt with–and survived–the ancient viral plague. By immersing
ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming
outbreak in our time.
Good graphics, stories pulled from the survival guide.Reviewed by Patrick S. Dorazio, 2010-02-19
Simply put, this is the graphic rendition of the stories Max Brooks
put in the back of his Zombie Survival Guide. The artwork is good
and the stories were entertaining when I first read them a few
years back. It had been a while so it was nice to revisit these
very brief tales but the negative is that Brooks didn't try to add
any new stories to the mix and give us something different than we
have already seen. It was entertaining, but not sure it was worth
the price charged. You can get fresh new zombie stuff in graphic
novel form on an ongoing basis with the Walking Dead series,
amongst others, so why couldn't Brooks done a bit of refreshing
here and added a few other interesting tales throughout
history?
Still, the quality of the art work is good and if you have not read
the recorded attacks from the Survival Guide already, this is a
good way to introduce them to you if you are a fan of zombies.
Worth the money; barely more than 10 bucksReviewed by Joshua C. Austin, 2010-02-10
I, unlike all the one-stars, was pleasantly surprised that this was
a graphic novel. I was basically expecting another world war z, and
was wondering why the cover had zombies drawn all over it. When I
opened it, I completely understood. The art was good, the stories
were well written, I just wish it was 2-3x as long as it was. I
read it in the greater part of an hour.
If you want a zombie "read", then check out Dead City by Joe
McKinney (5 stars!)
Goes great with the book.Reviewed by Chris Winchester, 2010-01-18
Great book, fast read, art is good. If you like zombies and decent art, get the book. If you want to complain, go somewhere else!!!
Undead in the Head book reviewReviewed by Lyle Perez, 2010-01-15
This is the third Brooks book I've reviewed and this one has to be
the biggest disappointment. "Recorded Attacks" wasn't what I was
expecting. I was expecting more in depth situations and information
but everything feel a little too short. Although what we got was
good, I wanted more out of the stories.
It starts off in the year 60,000 BC where the first recorded attack
took place. All of the stories are just speculation; there was
never any real evidence to support the stories, (which is a good
thing because I would hate to find someone who takes these
historical events as fact). We travel all over the world from Egypt
to Siberia and even to the United States . Solanum is referenced in
the book like it has in his previous books.
This is a graphic novel so it's pretty cool to be able to see the
zombies on print. I think the best part of this book is the
illustrations, done by Avatar Press. The zombies look great and
surprisingly horrifying. The illustrations match the story 100%,
Avatar Press did a great job.
Over all "Recorded Attacks" was a good read even though it only
takes a little over a half an hour to read and enjoy. It is
ridiculously over priced at $17.00 here in the United States. It's
a good book but not worth the money, even though it did have
interesting parts like the practical purpose for removing someone's
brain before being mummified. To know what I'm talking about you'll
have to read the book. I give "Recorded Attacks" 3 Undead Heads out
of 5.
They're Heeerre! (And Have Been for a Long Time)Reviewed by dean, 2010-01-11
Continuing his role as chronicler of the Zombie threat, Max Brooks
now shifts to the graphic novel format to inform us about the
history of Zombie attacks throughout history.
From neolithic cavemen, through the Pharaonic era, Rome, the Age of
Exploration, unto the present day, it turns out the undead have
long been trying to feed on us.
Great fun, and an excellent addition to the canon of zombie works.
