Broken Frontier

Rombies #0 is the tale of a samnite gladiator trapped in an arena full of men who not only refuse to die with honour, they refuse to die at all!

Rombies by Tom Taylor & Skye Ogden

Set in a time when life was cheap, and death was mere sport, Rombies combines two popular genres, producing a story that is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Written by Tom Taylor (writer of The Authority & Star Wars: Invasion) and illustrated by Skye Ogden (author and illustrator of the critically acclaimed wordless graphic novel, Vowels).

Taylor explains, “I would normally run a mile from a zombie story… and run a mile from zombies. However, after being asked whether I’d like to write this Roman zombies book, I woke one morning with horrible, horrible visions of a zombie infested Colosseum and, naturally, I wanted to share these horrible visions with the world.”

Tom Taylor is a multi-award-winning playwright whose comedy, drama and musical works have been produced across four continents. To date his most well-known comics work has been for The Authority, Star Wars: Invasion (which was nominated for a 2009 Diamond Gem award), and the adaptation of his play, The Example, for Gestalt Publishing. Tom currently resides in Melbourne.

Tokyo based Skye Ogden is the author of Vowels, a critically acclaimed wordless graphic novel, and the art director of Gestalt Publishing. Skye has produced many and varied works within the comics field including Rombies, Vowels, ‘Toy’, ‘Memento Mori’, and an adaptation of ‘Daemon Street Ghost-Trap’ with International Horror Guild award winner Terry Dowling.

Rombies #0 is distributed by Diamond in the USA with an RRP of $2.95
