It wouldn’t be Halloween without a Last Kiss collaboration with my pal Mike Pascale. This one and the one tomorrow are re-runs of two of the best zombie comics we’ve done together. But there’s a new zombie gag coming from Mike in a little over a week—just before the election!
The first page of the first issue of the FIRST KISS comic book—drawn in 1957 by my hero Dick Giordano.
Transcript:
SCENE: A zombie girl prepares to kiss (or maybe eat) a young man.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without at least one Last Kiss monster gag with my pal Mike Pascale. And we’ve got two this year. Wait’ll you see Friday’s vampire comic!
I think Mike came up with this zombie gag a year ago, but we couldn’t use it then. So I dusted it off for this year and made a few minor changes or—as I explained to Mike—huge, brilliant improvements. Then, of course, Mike improved my improvements. And then I…well, you get the idea.
As always, Mike’s “zombification” of the art is hilarious!
Inks by Dick Giordano from the story “Heartbreaker” in FIRST KISS #12, 1960.
Transcript:
Scene: Young woman and a young man in a booth having a soda. The man is oggling the woman’s breasts. Another man is behind the booth and is also looking at her boobs. The woman smiles and looks towards a zombie who is coming towards her.
MAN #1: Boobs…
MAN #2: Boobs…
ZOMBIE: Braaains!
WOMAN (thinking): I like Bob! He’s not like other boys!
WOMAN: I like you, Bob! You’re not like other boys!
