Is ‘Zombies: The Ultimate Guide’? a Guide to Prejudice?
We’re all for education about the history of Anti-Zombie media here at the ZRC, but it can all too easily cross the line into scaremongering or glorification of Anti-Zombie violence, and I think the folks at SFX have easily vaulted over that line:
Like zombies? Then you’ll love our latest one-off special issue! Zombies: The Ultimate Guide is a 132-page magazine dedicated to all things undead.
The mag comes packaged with three great free gifts:
* A gruesome zombie face key-topper
* A warning sign sticker to slap on your door (perfect for fending off unwelcome salesmen…)
* A double-sided A1 poster. This has Walking Dead art by Drew Struzan on one side, and a specially commissioned “wartime propaganda poster” image on the reverse.
Uh-oh.. that sounds bad.
So I went to the actual SFX site and found out this magazine is LOADED with all sorts of Anti-Zombie propaganda, including interviews with Max Brooks, John Russo and Robert Kirkman… but not a peep from anyone in the Zombie Rights Movement.
J’accuse!
And just take a gander at that self-described propaganda poster!!
I think that settles it. The Zombie Rights Campaign can safely declare that this ‘Ultimate Guide’ is in fact a work of vile Living Supremacist hatred.
Shame on you SFX!
