The crowdfunding campaign had a goal of $3000 which it exceeded in the first 48 hours. 



"Creating horror anthologies is the life-blood of Asylum Press," explains publisher and creator Frank Forte, "We have been doing indie horror comics since the early 90s and we want to continue to bring you hardcore terror and gore. We love having a direct relationship with the readers so we're turning to Kickstarter to help fund the creation, printing and promotion of this book! AND we can offer items that we can't offer in comic shops and through Diamond."

The Kickstarter campaign features Zombie Terrors: Undead Special #1 features covers #1A-#1D which were offered through Diamond. Covers #E-#1J are special NSFW, metal, and glow in the dark metal variants that are only available though Kickstarter.
