The Walking Dead #3

Three armed survivors — a bearded man with a backpack and shotgun, a young boy in a sheriff's hat with a holstered pistol, and a woman carrying a rifle — stand together against a stark white background, projecting quiet, weathered determination. Tony Moore's linework gives the trio a grounded, almost understated toughness that feels entirely fitting for Robert Kirkman's grounded take on the zombie apocalypse. This December 2003 Image Comics issue makes clear, even from its cover alone, that survival in this world is very much a family affair.
