A meerkat ninja zombie stands beneath a glowing full moon

Comic book illustration, vertical 9:16 format, bold black ink outlines, vivid halftone shading and dramatic color contrast. A meerkat stands upright on its hind legs in the center of the frame, dressed as a creepy ninja zombie for Halloween. It wears a tattered black ninja outfit with a torn hood, ragged cloth strips hanging from its sleeves, and a loose face wrap pulled down under its chin to reveal gray-green painted zombie makeup with sunken dark eye sockets, stitched scars and a jagged toothy grin. Its eyes are wide and glowing pale yellow, staring straight at the viewer. One paw holds a rusty ninja sword raised at its side, the other hangs stiffly forward in a classic zombie reach. A small cloth belt with a few throwing stars sits at its waist. Behind it, a moonlit sandy dirt path winds past crooked fence posts and a few carved jack-o'-lanterns with flickering orange glow, under a huge full moon in a deep purple night sky with drifting wisps of fog and a few bats silhouetted against the moon. Eerie green and orange rim light outlines the meerkat, with deep shadows around it, creating a spooky yet playful Halloween atmosphere.
