Josh Howard Previews 'Dead@17 Compendium'

All the torn shirts, underwear and zombies you can handle...

Josh Howard, the "comic book and pin-up artist" behind Viper Comics' Dead@17, The Lost Books of Eve and Clubbing (from DC's MINX imprint) has posted a preview of the upcoming Dead@17 Compendium on his website.

While his work has trended more towards the T&A over time, I've always been a fan of his storytelling ability as much as his art. In fact, during my time with the-company-that-shall-remain-nameless, I even convinced him to write a great little column about life in the independent comics scene. Howard showed a real knack for the written word that, to be quite honest, impressed the heck out of me. While his old column seems to have been "disappeared" due to a recent redesign, it's good to see that he's been keeping busy.

There doesn't seem to be any release date set for the Dead@17 Compendium, but Howard has indicated the collection will feature a mixture of touched-up and brand-new art -- as well as an abundance of near-naked girls beating the snot out of zombies, demons and each other.
