Summary

Writer Mark Verheiden (Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Battlestar Galactica) and artist John Bolton (God Save the Queen, Harlequin Valentine) present an exciting expansion on the film that introduced us to the powerful Book of the Dead, the relentlessly violent deadites, and Ash—one resilient, blood-soaked survivor. Now an iconic horror hero, relive Ash's first visit to the cabin that brought him face to face with the delectably deranged deadites who possessed his girlfriend and friends . . . and turned "the perfect place to get laid" into a house of fear and fury. Return to the original nonstop gore-fest and experience the thrills, gags, and gagging anew, with unexpected extra scenes. This edition features new afterword text from Mark Verheiden!
 
Collects the Dark Horse Comics miniseries The Evil Dead #1–#4, the only officially authorized expansion of the classic horror film.
