Frank and Jody first met while working together for Hackers Source magazine. At that time Frank was working on a post apocalyptic zombie screenplay for a small studio. After reading a rough draft Jody expressed interest in creating a comic tie-in for the picture. All was looking good for our heroes and then the studio flipped format, leaving the script behind.
Several months later it was Frank's wife, Jacki, that suggested he turn the story into a novel. When contacted about possible cover art, Jody suggested he create several illustrations for the interior as well. Our heroes were back in the saddle again! Currently there are talks of a comic series, a full length animated feature length DVD, possible sculpted collectable figures and a host of other tie-ins. Stay tuned for further updates as the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid of the Zombie world move ever forward in the saddle. Yippie-Ki-Yay Cowboys!
Joseph "Jody" Adams
With his art appearing everywhere from comics and periodicals to baseball caps, calendars and movies, Jody still refers to his style as Lowbrow. "It is alternative and underground," he explains. "Lowbrow is taking something and making it more. Its not only a form of art but a form of life." When Faber-Castell learned Jody only uses their Pitt Artist brand pens for his work, they quickly offered to sponsor him by supplying him with whatever supplies he needed.
Born and bred in Kentucky, Jody resides there today where the title of Kentucky Colonel was bestowed on him by Governor Paul Patton in 2001.
Franklin E. Wales
The author of three novels and numerous shorter works of fiction and nonfiction, Frank prefers the title of Storyteller to Novelist or Journalist. Its a time honored tradition passed down through our parents and our grandparents, he says. No matter what I am writing, it is my goal to entertain you with the story Im telling.
Born and raised in Conway, NH, Frank now lives with his beautiful photographer wife, Jacki, in the South Florida home they share with their two dogs and a cat named Oz (as in Wizard of).
DEADHEADS: EVOLUTION
They are starting to think...
Its been two and a half years since the Deadhead Virus was let loose, raising the dead to walk the earth in search of human flesh. Now, as the remnants of humanity try to rebuild in the land of the living dead, legends are whispered of a warrior, part human, part Deadhead, who walks the line between both worlds.
Gage Owens longs for the day when humans are once again at the top of the food chain. Lately he has noticed a disturbing trend: the Deadhead race is evolving!
"Raw, fast-paced, and violent, with engaging characters you can identify with. If you're looking for more than that, then go buy The Horse Whisperer--this one's for people with guts."--Author/Director, Joe Monks
Deadheads: Evolution by Franklin E. Wales kicks ass. That pretty much sums it up. This is pure Saturday afternoon, sit on the patio, and turn off the phone entertainment. - John Paul Allen, author of Marquee, Monkey Love and Gifted Trust
"Wales paints a visceral portrait of a world in shambles and a transforming threat. Lots of action and surprises. --David Dunwoody, author of EMPIRE
"A brutal masterpiece of horror fiction"-- Eric S Brown, Author of Bigfoot War and War of the Worlds Plus Blood Guts and Zombies.
"It stared right into my soul; like it was going to reach out and take a bite. Some very good stuff here. This could very well turn into a great series."--Eve Blaack, Hackers Source.
