The Walking Dead #139

There's something quietly compelling about this cover — a lone figure leaning on a cane stands at a ruined harbor, watching a tall-sailed vessel glide across a golden, sun-washed sea toward the horizon, surrounded by decaying boats left to rot. The subtitle "From the Edge of the World" pairs perfectly with Charlie Adlard's moody, atmospheric composition, which feels less like an apocalypse and more like an uncertain new beginning. Robert Kirkman and the full creative team continue to find unexpected poetry in the post-collapse world with this 2015 entry in Image's long-running series.
