“Safety Behind Bars”
About this Collection

This volume collects issues #13–18 of the acclaimed post-apocalyptic horror series. As the survivors settle into a seemingly secure prison, they confront the dangers of both the undead outside and the fractured humanity within their own group, testing the fragile bonds of trust and survival.

In "Safety Behind Bars," Rick Grimes and the survivors believe they’ve found sanctuary in an abandoned prison—only to discover it’s overrun with zombies and four other survivors who were inmates. Tensions rise when Rachel and Susie Greene are killed, and suspicion quickly turns to the newcomers. Written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated with gritty precision by Charlie Adlard, with colors by Cliff Rathburn, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in the group’s search for safety. The cover, by Tony Moore, captures the uneasy tension of the moment.
