Darren Dead created by Rob Williams and John Higgins. The story appears in the Judge Dredd Megazine.
While performing an illusion (which involved George being suspended in a coffin above the city), an atomic bomb goes off, destroying everything. 57 years later, the coffin is discovered and opened. But what comes out isn’t really alive, he’s a walking corpse who can talk to the dead.
George changes his name to Darren Dead and decides to become a star…
