It is 1863, the height of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. Jim Lewis, devoted freeman servant of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, is grieving his employer's death from [[FriendOrFoe friendly fire]]. Jezebeau, an aspiring voodoo practitioner, boasts to Jim that she can bring Stonewall back to life. Little do either realise that another party is interested in reviving the general: the Devil himself.

Yet Satan and his servants aren't the only demons Jim has to battle.

->''Now, for the first time ever:\\
The true story of zombies in the Civil War can be told!''

''Rebel Dead Revenge'' is HistoricalFantasy graphic novel written and illustrated by Gary Kwapisz. It was published in 2018 by Castalia House under the Dark Legion imprint, over three volumes. A complete edition was released the following year. A weekly [[https://www.arkhaven.com/comics/supernatural/rebel-dead-revenge digital version]] is hosted on Website/{{Arktoons}}.

It is 1863, the height of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. Jim Lewis, devoted freeman servant of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, is grieving his employer's death from [[FriendOrFoe friendly fire]]. Jezebeau, an aspiring voodoo practitioner, boasts to Jim that she can bring Stonewall back to life. Little do either realise that another party is interested in reviving the general: the Devil himself.

With a re-animated monkey corpse as his physical host, and Jezebeau as his unfortunate minion, Satan sets about creating a zombie Confederate army with Stonewall as its leader. One snag: Jackson's amputated arm is missing. Jim therefore must keep the arm from the Devil's clutches, and himself from becoming the undead's prey or worse.

Not to be confused with ''Videogame/RedDeadRedemption''.

----


!! This work provides examples of:

* AnArmAndALeg: Satan needs Stonewall's amputated arm restored, otherwise it could cause a power drain from the reanimated body and alert the devil's enemies to his schemes.
* AssholeVictim: Two Confederate deserters mistake Jim for a runaway slave. They kidnap him and take his [[TrackingSpell gold coins]]. The latter act leads two undead scouts straight to them.
* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: "The real story of the Battle of Gettysburg can finally be told, and this time it has zombies!" You can draw your own conclusions.
* DealWithTheDevil: Satan transforms ugly pariah Jezebeau into a beautiful woman. In return, she becomes his slave.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Jezebeau gets rather sassy with the devil-monkey when she realises he can't hurt her. Then she accepts his [[DealWithTheDevil bargain]] and [[ManOnFire oh, yes he can]].
* DramaticIrony: Jim boasts to himself that, unlike Jezebeau, he's too smart to fall for Satan's tricks. Then he joyfully recovers "his" gold coins, which will give him "power" and "leverage" over the devil—not realising the coins are part of a TrackingSpell that got two men torn to pieces in front of him seconds earlier. Neither does it occur to him that his craving for the gold is just as exploitable a weakness as Jezebeau's desire for physical beauty.
* FloweryInsults: The devil-monkey. "Toad-sucking strumpet", "sheep-humping jolthead" and so on.
* FunetikAksent: Nobody in the story is named "Jess"; it's merely how various characters pronounce "just".
* GilliganCut: Jim dismisses Jezebeau's plan to resurrect Stonewall using a dead monkey as the StupidestThingIveEverHeard. Next panel, Jim comes to Jezebeau that night, and he has a monkey carcass.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The devil in all his guises, as well as his servants.
* {{Gorn}}: There are some brutal scenes of dismemberment and disemboweling.
* HellishHorse: Satan revives fallen steeds for his undead soldiers. The beasts are as ravenous for human flesh as their riders.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful: The devil-monkey offers to turn Jezebeau into a beautiful, beloved lady. She disregards all else and accepts [[DidISayThatOutLoud without even realising it]].
* InsistentTerminology: As a freeman, Jim denies Stonewall was his "master".
* MagicalBarefooter: Jezebeau, the wannabe voodoo queen.
* ManOnFire: The devil establishes his mastery over Jezebeau by engulfing her whole body in flames. [[MagicFire She doesn't sustain any lasting physical damage, not even to her clothing]], but the pain is unbearable, and she quickly submits.
* ManiacMonkeys: Satan uses a reanimated monkey as his MeatPuppet, making for an exceptionally vicious example.
* OhCrapSmile: One of the undead scouts gives a skeletal rictus when he realises he forgot one of the devil-monkey's orders.
* PeoplePuppets: The devil-monkey can't interact directly with humans, so he uses Jezebeau as a go-between.
-->'''Jezebeau''': But I'm...I'm human,\\
'''Devil-monkey''': Not anymore, you're not!
* PrayerIsALastResort: Jim is not a devout man but he prays for the dying General Jackson to survive. Later he considers Stonewall and countless other Confederate soldiers whose prayers did not keep them from their graves, and rejects the practice in favour of more mundane protections. When two undead scouts show up, he tries spirituals instead.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once the devil makes her beautiful, Jezebeau thinks she can flounce off without doing his bidding. [[ManOnFire She doesn't get far]].
* SpeechBubbles: The devil's and his undead servants' are [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red on black]], the undead Stonewall's are red on white. Both have ragged, irregular outlines.
* TrackingSpell: Jezebeau, [[PeoplePuppets under Satan's control]], slips Jim five gold coins. Satan uses them to track him.
* YouHaveFailedMe: The devil's scouts return with the wrong arm ''and'' leave their victims' corpses to attract attention. He [[BurnTheUndead destroys them with fire]].
