Untitled Zombie Comic
Here's a little six page thing to see if I could actually write in script format. It's a zombie killing story, nothing too original there. Please let me know what you think and if you have any title suggestions.
PAGE 1
PANEL:
Countryside at twilight. One of those nights where the sun’s just about set but the moon’s already high in the sky. It’s big and full, almost abnormally big. Side view silhouette of a two story house with a porch on a hill. There’s an oak tree with a tire swing out front.
PANEL:
Two men are sitting on the front porch, looking out over the dirt driveway. They’re seated on cheap plastic lawn chairs with a pitcher of lemonade and a RADIO on the table between them. Shot guns lay across their laps.
WILLY: Nice night, innit?
ROOSTER: Yup.
PANEL:
WILLY reaches over and pours himself a glass of lemonade.
WILLY: Rooster?
PANEL:
ROOSTER has set his glass on the table. WILLY refills the glass
PANEL:
WILLY: Ya hear that?
ROOSTER: Yup.
PANEL: We see a shot of the empty drive way.
PAGE 2
PANEL: (GROUND LEVEL)
We see a large number of FEET walking along a dirt road. The FEET are in varying conditions, as are the attached LEGS. Some LEGS are missing FEET.
PANEL:
WILLY and ROOSTER lean forward.
WILLY: They comin’?
ROOSTER and RADIO: Yup.
PANEL: (MIDSECTION LEVEL)
Just zombies tootling down the road. Maybe one or two kid zombies in amongst the adults.
PANEL:
WILLY: Ya see ‘em, Blinky?
RADIO:Yuppers. They’re here Pops.
PANEL:
Front view of zombies coming down the road.
PAGE 3
PANEL:
Attic of the house, looking down. There’s a bed to the side and posters of teen idols on the walls. A girl in a dress and pig tails lying prone on a table looking through the scope of a BIG FUCKING GUN.
PANEL (INSET):
BLINKY: Got ‘em in my sights.
PANEL(S):
ZOMBIES coming closer and closer to us until they’re in our faces

BLINKY:Pops, ya even awake down there?

PAGE 5
PANEL:
WILLY while shooting: How many ya figure?
PANEL:
ROOSTER fires from the porch steps.
PANEL:
WILLY: That many, huh?
PANEL:
ZOMBIES passing the oak tree with the tire swing, fewer now but still walking.
PANEL:
BLINKY: What happened to the perimeter, Pops?
PANEL:
The ZOMBIES have reached the porch. ROOSTER uses the butt of his shotgun to bash a ZOMBIE’S head in.
WILLY: We got it, kid.
PANEL(S):
WILLY and ROOSTER have whipped out their machetes and have begun hacking away at the ZOMBIES. BLINKY is still shooting from the window.

PAGE 6
PANEL:
WILLY whacks the head off the last ZOMBIE.
WILLY:That all of ‘em, kid?
PANEL:
BLINKY: Yuppers.

WILLY turns to ROOSTER who is standing chin down, eyes shaded.
WILLY: Rooster, ya good?
PANEL:
ROOSTER’s head comes up, he’s a ZOMBIE.
WILLY: Rooster?
PANEL:
Pull back to the same silhouette of the house and tree. The moon is setting.
SOUND EFFECT: BAM!
BLINKY: Pops?
