Overview

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.

What We Need & What You Get

TALES FROM THE CLASSROOM was originally scheduled to release all the way back in 2010 through a well-known independent publisher. Sadly, the publisher since dismantled and the project fell through. But it's now back, stronger than ever!

All 41-pages are pencilled, inked, colored and lettered -- the book is done! We just need to raise enough to cover printing and shipping costs.

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. 

Sebastián Bronico is an illustrator, comic artist and designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina. His first work in the industry was as a background artist and background inker for “Joan”, the Italian series written by legendary South-American author Robin Wood, and pencilled by Carlos Pedrazzini for Aurea Editoriale. He then became head-penciler for Beware of the Art, a team of artists and writers that developed content for major publishing houses and media developers like Radical Comics, Viper Comics, Edilingua and Minimoko; also providing artistic assets for solo projects like David Hine’s “Ryder on the Storm” and Kirker Butler’s “Blue Agave and Worm”. 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. He had two gallery openings, one in Centro Cultural Recoleta with the CompArte assembly and the other in Centro Cultural Borges with the ExpoArtistas assembly. He lives with Victoria, his beloved Female Fury, and Mangudai, his pan-dimensional Shar Pei.

He has worked on many high-profile titles, including "Arrow" , "Aquaman", "Wonder Woman" , "G.I. Joe" , and "Transformers", for publishers like DC Comics , Image, IDW, Dark Horse, Valiant, and more...

Matias Laborde hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina but is currently based in Berlin, Germany. He is an experienced and versatile artist—and all around nice guy—who has worked on everything from coloring titles for BOOM! Studios (WWE) to working as senior artist for major videogame companies. 

Lucas Gattoni Lucas Gattoni is a seasoned graphic designer and typesetter now pursuing his dream job of comic book lettering.
