Salt Lake City’s Tower of the Pioneers Unveils Hidden Collection of Zombie ComicsSalt Lake City’s Tower of the Pioneers Unveils Hidden Collection of Zombie Comics Beneath the towering grandeur of Salt Lake City’s Tower of the Pioneers, an extraordinary discovery has come to light. Hidden within the depths of the historic landmark, a forgotten trove of zombie comics has been unearthed. The collection, numbering over a hundred, spans decades of publication. From the ghoulish covers of EC’s classic “Tales from the Crypt” to the modern horror of “The Walking Dead,” these rare and valuable comics provide a chilling glimpse into the evolution of the zombie genre. According to historians, the comics were originally acquired by the tower’s former curator, a fervent fan of horror and the macabre. Over time, they were stored away in a forgotten basement vault, their existence fading into obscurity. The discovery was made during a recent inventory of the tower’s artifacts. As staff members sifted through boxes of memorabilia, they stumbled upon a cache of comic books tied together with yellowed twine. Curiosity piqued, they examined the covers, revealing the unmistakable imagery of ravenous undead. “It was like opening a time capsule,” exclaimed Dr. Emily Carter, the tower’s current curator. “These comics represent a fascinating chapter in the history of horror and graphic storytelling.” The collection includes first editions of groundbreaking works such as George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” and Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead.” It also features lesser-known but equally chilling tales from the golden age of horror comics. The unveiling of the zombie comics has sparked excitement among collectors and enthusiasts alike. The tower has announced plans to display a rotating selection of the comics in its exhibit hall, providing the public with a unique opportunity to witness this hidden treasure. “This discovery not only adds to the Tower of the Pioneers’ historical significance,” said Mayor Michael Caldwell, “but it also highlights the diversity and cultural importance of our city’s collections.” As the tower prepares to showcase its zombie comics, a sense of anticipation hangs in the air. These forgotten artifacts will offer a chilling reminder of the enduring fascination with the undead and the enduring power of graphic storytelling.
