Dwight L. MacPherson, the writer of “A Zombie’s Tale,” has just posted a preview of the upcoming “M-Theory” No. 1 comic at the Image Comics Web site.

Billed as “the greatest pulp science-fiction adventure of our time,” the preview certainly looks promising.

From Dwight’s posting: “In this thrilling premier episode, a government scientist receives a startling transmission of extraterrestrial origin, a promising college student makes a terrifying discovery, and a group of deep space explorers encounters a shocking nemesis at the outer limits of our galaxy!”

I dig the retro, EC Comic-inspired cover.

If you like the classic, grisly EC Comics of the 1940s and 1950s — or the entertainment they spawned, like the “Tales from the Crypt” TV series — check out this audio interview with David Hajdu, the author of “The Ten-Cent Plague” on the Sound of Young America podcast.

Be sure to click over to the Sound of Young America site to get a good look at the gruesome cover that helped seal the (censorship-fueled) demise of EC Comics. Hmm, looks familiar somehow.
