Homicide: Tears of the Dead was published by Chaos! in 1997.

Rick used to be an average teenager. He liked heavy metal music, had long hair, rebelled against authority figures, and his life seemed to end when his girlfriend moved away. That was before Rick fell victim to Evil Ernie, a psychopathic, teenaged zombie.

As a member of the reanimated undead, Rick had direction and purpose for the first time. Renamed “Homicide,” he worked his way up in the ranks of the undead legions, becoming Ernie’s second-in-command. Homicide had his own ideas, however, and he eventually broke away from Ernie, taking many followers with him.
