TALES FROM THE CLASSROOM & K.THULHU FILES – Double Digital Edition

TALES FROM THE CLASSROOM is a fun-packed postmortem romp following everyone’s favorite teenage Zombie, Rob Muerto, as he struggles to adapt to his new school.

Back in Romero (his previous, all-Zombie high school) Rob used to be the coolest, most popular kid around. But when he transfers to K. Thulhu High — a multi-species school whose students include Vampires, Wolfmen and everything in between — he must come to terms with being at the bottom of the proverbial social heap.

Not only that, he has to contend with the ruthless bullying of Drake, a Nosferatu who also happens to be the most popular kid in K. Thulhu.

• First installment of a potentially ongoing series.
• 41 pages of top-caliber art by Sebastián Bronico (pencils), Juan Castro (inks), and Matias Laborde (colors).
• Meticulously lettered by the great Lucas Gattoni.
• High quality print job, featuring 70.lb gloss paper stock pages and foil stamp cover.

Rob Muerto has been wanting to tell this story ever since he clawed out of the grave and got the first whiffs of putrescine on his own rotting corpse. As a Zombie, or “pulse-challenged individual”, he has fought to have his voice heard in a world populated with monsters of all shapes, creeds, and sizes — all of whom seem to think Zombies are beneath them. Rob has honed his writing skills on roughly 15.3K Twitter posts, 253 Reddit threads, and various other message boards. He received a B- in his creative writing course, the most any monster of his kind has gotten. When he’s not writing stories, you’re likely to find him out in a landfill, sipping on frozen brain drips and basking in the sun.

Since 2014 he is working for major houses in Argentina like Media Business, ENERC, Zarek and Public Television doing storyboarding, advertising, character design and conceptual art.
