Herbert West, Re-Animator, to be specific. The first of the comic book crossovers in Ash's illustrious career, and the best. In Army Of Darkness Vs Re-Animator, we find Ash locked up in a lunatic asylum for his Ashy Slashy ways, only to find the resident Doctor there is a certain Herbert West, Lovecraftian Re-Animator (depicted on the screen by Jeffrey Combs, a man with enough screen presence to give even Groovy Bruce a run for his money).

Combining the Necronomicon with West’s re-animation serum can only be a good idea, right? Adding some proper Lovecraftian monstrosities into the mix as well as the usual traditional Deadites, Army Of Darkness Vs Re-Animator is an expert bend of both properties, imaginatively pitting the two cult horror icons against (and occasionally even beside) each other.
