iZombie, originally titled I, Zombie, is a comic book series created by writer Chris Roberson and artist Michael Allred, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint beginning in 2010. The series deals with Gwen Dylan (née Gwendolyn Price), a revenant gravedigger in Eugene, Oregon, and her friends Ellie, a 1960s ghost, and Scott, a were-terrier. As a result of being bitten by a mummy, Gwen needs to eat a brain once a month to keep herself from regressing into a stereotypically primitive and homicidal zombie. As a gravedigger, she has plenty of access to recently deceased people; when she consumes their brains she "inherits" part of the deceased's thoughts. iZombie was nominated for the 2011 Eisner Award for Best New Series.
