De naam Matt Busch zal veel niet comic lezers weinig zeggen, maar de echte hardcore fans kennen zijn zeer uitgebreide werk natuurlijk wel. Aangezien hij ook meer dan twintig covers voor Night of the Living Dead heeft gemaakt en een aantal posters met zombies in de hoofdrol, was het voor de ZombieInfo.com tijd om eens een diepgaand gesprek met Matt te houden.

ZK: Let's get this one out of the way early- How do you like your zombies, fast or slow?

MB: You know, I hate to be PC, especially on zombies, but I sit in the middle. I can appreciate both, but at the same time can see what bugs people about each. Slow zombies are sometimes so slow that it becomes unintentionally funny. Fast zombies can be 'too fast' and kind of defeat the purpose of what a zombie is. We need a new middle-ground.

ZK: Now, the Zombies... oh how we love them here... What zombie or horror works have influenced you?

MBI know some people don't consider these zombie movies per se, but too bad, I do. The Evil Dead movies really are the quintessential undead movies for me. And what I love about the trilogy is the variety in genre. While they all tell the saga of Ash, the first movie is actually quite scary, in my opinion. The second hams it up to the point of being a comedy. And the third is almost more of an action movie, though certainly has elements of horror and comedy as well.
