Fit the 13th: The Archers

No, not the radio programme. I've always had a special pocket of love for postapocalyptic scenarios, the aesthetic field known as 'apocalypse punk' but which I will call 'rapturepunk' because it's a better name, and indeed zombie media. Postapocalyptic-zombie-attack scenarios, therefore, are as manna to me. I once planned out a graphic novel which is precisely that, but this isn't that.
This is a fucking ridiculous imagining of what would happen if zombies attacked a small south-coast university town.
Which happens to have an archery club.

Keigh. The sort of person you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley.



West. The sort of person you'd be quite glad to see down a dark alley.



Scout. The sort of person you'd never find anywhere near a dark alley.


Morwood. The sort of person who could beat a dark alley to death with its own bricks.
Ed. The sort of person who got dropped from the concept fairly quickly because he had no purpose.


The irony is that the people these characters are very loosely based on are actually more epic than the characters themselves.
