Collecting two of the original Japanese volumes into each Dark Horse edition, this value-priced excursion into the world's weirdest zombie apocalypse is not to be missed! Having escaped being eaten by his zombie girlfriend and torn apart by his infected co-workers, Hideo Suzuki continues to head away from civilization and the bloodthirsty hordes taking over Japan. In a "suicide forest" that winds up being just as dangerous as the city, Hideo finds a young girl who needs help and who could also help him more than he realizes! The zombie apocalypse has never been more surreal! Collects the original Japanese I Am a Hero Japanese volumes 3 and 4.

"I Am a Hero is probably the greatest zombie manga ever. It has the slow buildup of a psychological horror manga, but when the zombies hit, they hit hard, and the manga accelerates into volumes-long fight-or-flight sequences that seem like they'll never stop." -Jason Thompson (Manga: The Complete Guide)
