In a world where humans have to live with the living dead, a new job opportunity is born: zombie catcher. Karl Neard, his sister Maggie and his Belgian friend Freddy Merckx embrace this career in hopes of making easy money. The job isn't that simple: not only are zombies dead bodies walking, but they also have a terrible scent and an awful sense of humor. As a matter of fact, zombies just don't care about anything, since their lives are behind them and they have an eternity to enjoy. Karl and his team end up attracting all sorts of freaks in 2064 Los Angeles.
A trade paperback collection was solicited but Devil's Due went out of business around that time:
The Zombies That Ate The World (184 pages, Devil's Due Publishing, October 2009, ISBN978-1-934692-66-0)[3]
Humanoids eventually released their own collections:
The Zombies That Ate The World, Book 1: Bring Me Back My Head! (hardcover, 120 pages, November 2011, ISBN978-1-59465-083-3)
The Zombies That Ate The World, Book 2: The Eleventh Commandment (hardcover, 104 pages, 2012, ISBN978-1-59465-013-0)
The Zombies That Ate The World, Book 3: Houston, We Have A Problem (hardcover, 96 pages, 2015, ISBN978-1-59465-116-8)
Norma Editorial collected all four albums in one book for the Spanish market.
