The Walking Dead #113

A young blonde woman crouches in the shadows of a brick archway, rifle clutched tight, her gaze fixed downward with quiet intensity — below her, a massive crowd surges through the streets. Charlie Adlard's cover composition uses that dramatic diagonal angle to brilliant effect, making the lone figure above the swarming mass feel both isolated and purposeful. Robert Kirkman, Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn were deep into one of the series' most ambitious arcs in 2013, and this issue's cover promises the kind of tense, high-stakes standoff that kept readers coming back every month.
