History: (Nick Fury's Howling Commandos#1) - Zombie took part in a Howling Commandos strike against a Lords of the
Living Lightning base located in Afghanistan. As the other Commandos
battled LLL agents, Zombie located two technicians and forced them to
purge their computer systems by bluff, claiming he would eat them if they didn't.
(Nick Fury's Howling Commandos#2) - In the Area 13 commissary, Living Mummy and Vampire By Night were discussing Merlin's escape from captivity. Zombie asked to sit with them, but Living Mummy rebuffed him. After the Mummy left, Zombie again asked to sit at the table, to Vampire by Night's annoyance.
(Nick Fury's Howling Commandos#4 - BTS) - Zombie was in Area 13 when Merlin's army opened a portal into it and invaded.
(Nick Fury's Howling Commandos#5) - Zombie and the main Commandos unit infiltrated the portal after sending a group of rampaging giant monsters loose to drive Merlin's forces back through it. On the other side (a magically transformed UK), they found one of the giant monsters, Groot, who offered to join them and help. They soon located their team member Vampire by Night, who had been working undercover within Merlin's army.
(Nick
Fury's Howling Commandos#6) - The Commandos arrived at Merlin's base,
where they were joined by other Commando monster units as well as the
Mole Man. They launched a massive assault on Merlin's forces and when
Merlin was tricked by Lilith into believing he was destined to lose the
battle, he fled, allowing the transformed countryside to return to
normal.

It
was made clear in the series that this was not Simon Garth. Of all the
main team members, we see the least of Zombie (he's not even on any of
the covers), and it's made clear in the books several of his teammates
think very little of him.
Unfortunately, few full-body images of Zombie exist, so I had to go with one with him in a red-tinted room.
