The Walking Dead #19

A bold new presence strides onto the scene in The Walking Dead #19 — a determined woman walks forward through a bleak, windswept landscape, katana in hand, flanked on either side by two decaying, chain-bound walkers she appears to be keeping in tow. Tony Moore's cover art captures something genuinely arresting: a figure radiating quiet authority amid the grotesque, with the chained undead almost serving as grim escorts rather than threats. From the creative team of Kirkman, Adlard, and Rathburn, and arriving with two well-earned Eisner nominations already to its name, this 2005 Image series continues to push its post-apocalyptic world in surprising directions.
