Gwen Dylan

She must eat a brain once a month or regress into a primitive, homicidal zombie1

Eating a brain gives her part of the dead person's thoughts1

She works as a gravedigger in Eugene, Oregon, which gives her access to the recently dead1

In the comic's cosmology a zombie is a body without an oversoul, the seat of thought and memory; a revenant like Gwen keeps both souls1

Her friends are a 1960s ghost and a were-terrier1

The series ran 28 issues and was nominated for an Eisner Award1
