Some of the things we poke fun of in horror in and some comic horror has elements of truth, such as with Zombies, those are real life people who had their soul taken, and via drugs and shaman occult, cause that person to work against their freewill, they are slaves...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie
Even the rock band "White Zombie" was created based on some shitty things that was going on in the occult world regarding trying to make some whites into zombies or slaves for black shamans...I think the current one is "Soul Switch" which again, a rock band created based on some shitty things that have happened..
And there is a marvel comic "story" about a white plantation owner who turned into a Zombie, this is actually a true story, but someone thought it would be cute to turn it into a pulp-fiction via the comics or horror-comics...either way, the "god" used to do this work is a snake god from Africa, called Damballah, which sounds like "allah" at the end right, let me explain more. And I'll provide a link to info about this snake god. If you ever listened to rap music, the old old stuff, there was a song out that didn't make sense, at least not to me, the words were so unfamiliar, then, I heard the word "Kabbalah" it is related to allah (not to make anyone mad, please, do not get upset or start something, this is only my opinion), and KABBalah is related to DAMBallah, although one is from the Hebrew (Jewish mystics, blacks say that the Jews stole it from them, uhm?) and the other is from a West African snake god of the dead.
I think these are the lyrics to the rap song from along time ago, that put together damballah with kabalah...
"Kabbalah Kabbala Kaang Kadiogo Kali Kagoshima, ...Damballa Weddo Corrèze Damballah Weddo Damballah-Weddo Damballah Bon Dieu "
I remember hearing this on the radio and thinking "what are they saying" and back then, I had no idea what a Kabbalah was, nor damballa..or rather damballah....either way, now YOU know my opinion.

And the "person" below in the comic, if you do your homework, that issue was a true story, but I think he died...but anyway, I guess someone thought why not make it into a story and bring him "back to life" in a abstract way.
