Black Gas Volume 1 #1-3 Complete

is a two-volume comic book mini-series written by Warren Ellis, illustrated by Max Fiumara, and published by Avatar Press from 2006 to 2007. The first volume deals with two lovers trapped on an island where a Black Gas has turned the residents into zombie-like monsters. The second volume deals with the effects of the Black Gas on the mainland. Each volume consists of three issues. Each issue was published with one standard and three variant covers (Terror, Gore, and Wraparound). Black Gas is Warren Ellis' take on the zombie mythos; as such it is ultra-violent, bloody, gory--some would even call it sick. And it predates Garth Ennis' by more than 3 years. Ellis said that "Blackgas" got its start from a request by Avatar's Editor-In-Chief William Christiansen. "William has a thing about zombies," said Ellis. "He's been after me for years to write him a zombie book. A ways back, I broke down and devised 'Blackgas,' specifically for him. It's basically me writing a book for my friend to read. Because my friend is sick in the head, it has disgusting violence and gutbusting horror in it. That's the whole deal, really. Sometimes it's just as simple as that."
