Plot

In 1977 a zombie-infected plane returning from Haiti crashes into the Hollywood sign, starting an infestation through the city. Meanwhile, a by the name of Wong Hung Lau plans to film various pornographic movies in a sole weekend with the hopes of earning enough money quickly to pay a large debt he has with the italian mafia. His plans soon fall apart when one of the performers gets turned into a zombie and Lau has to run, along with his film crew and the surviving actresses.
Among them is Jenny, a promiscuous but naive girl whose father, Steve Mitchum, just arrived to Los Angeles looking for her. Steve is an expert in the use of weapons and fireguns, and not even the apocalypse would stand on his way.
As Lau's group tries to survive the horrors of a city overrun by vicious zombies, a group of mobsters tracks them, looking for their payment at first, and later vengeance, even taking Jenny's former pimp as a guide/hostage.
Steve and the criminals find what's left of the crew at the same time in an "end-of-the-world orgy".Jenny's friends are killed but the crime boss want's the father and daughter to suffer before they die, so orders his goons to rape them both. A discussion between the boss and a homophobic underling allows the zombified sound engineer to rise up and attack them, which in turn allows Steve to kill their captors and escape.
The comic then flashforwards to some time later. Wong Hun Lau was living a luxurious life by prostituting zombified celebrities, when a truck makes a quick stop in his mansion. Their occupants are Jenny and Steve, who unceremoniously kill Lau with a shotgun blast and drive off.
