Like zombies? Then you’ll love our latest special issue, which is dedicated to all things undead!
You can get it from all good newsagents (if your local shop doesn’t stock it, ask them to order in SFX special number 52). You can also order it by ringing our customer services team on 0844 848 2852 , or buying online from this page (opens in new tab) . And if you’d prefer a digital version of the mag, you can buy one of those too, via the SFX Collections app (opens in new tab) , for £4.99.
The mag comes packaged with three great free gifts (click on the links to see images):
* A gruesome zombie face key-topper
* A warning sign sticker to slap on your door (perfect for fending off unwelcome salesmen…)
* A double-sided A1 poster. This has Walking Dead art by Drew Struzan on one side, and a specially commissioned “wartime propaganda poster” image on the reverse.
Incidentally, you can also buy an exclusive SFX t-shirt featuring that propaganda poster art – visit the SFX merch site to order one now!
The mag comes sealed inside a cardboard wallet, so we’ve made a short video showing you what’s inside. And here’s a full run-down:
