No, there is not a page of story before this one. The Libitina Title Page is actually Page 1.
Synopsis: A young villager named Kinji wanders through the forest near her village, to rendezvous with the boy she likes this week. As she gets deeper into the forest, she begins to feel ill at ease. Hearing a noise, she turns and sees something charging at her. Turns out it’s the boy, Dumjoq, your average meat head knuckle dragger that is popular with the ladies. For some reason. He chases her for a bit, and when they stop, they find themselves on the border of a very spooky forest.
CREATOR NOTES:
This beginning wasn’t in the original Fisher Media Publications black and white first issue. It was created later for the Lodestone Publishing full color release. I decided having a scene where bad things happen to people would be a good way to start off the series, to give an example of the danger facing the main characters. And thus the creation of Kinji and Dumjoq.
Death came from the west. Traveling on black ships of metal, filled with the restless corpses of a fallen continent. In the years since, it has spread, the Deadlands growing ever larger under the cruel eyes of the mysterious Lords of the Dead, godlike beings that control the shambling armies.
Standing against them are the Survivors, a piecemeal army of the living who have experienced the horror of the undead, losing everything, rising from the ashes to fight back.
Meanwhile, on the far side of the continent, a clandestine cult calling themselves the Children of the Risen and of the Re-risen, have found the Silver Skull of Lazarus, and have begun the rituals that will bring about his return.
