The Walking Dead #1
This volume collects the first six issues of Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore's landmark zombie survival series. It introduces protagonist Rick Grimes, a sheriff's deputy who awakens from a coma to find the world overrun by the undead, and follows his desperate search for his family in a shattered Georgia landscape. The story establishes the series' focus on human conflict and moral dilemmas in a post-apocalyptic setting, rather than the zombies themselves.
"Days Gone Bye" launches Robert Kirkman’s groundbreaking series with Rick Grimes waking in a deserted hospital to a world overrun by the undead. As he journeys toward Atlanta, Rick reunites with his family and a small band of survivors, setting the stage for a harrowing journey in a shattered world. Tony Moore’s stark, expressive art and Cliff Rathburn’s haunting colors bring the first moments of the apocalypse to life, all captured in a cover by Moore that sets the tone with quiet dread.
