The Walking Dead #85

The stark, all-black cover of The Walking Dead #85 delivers a gut-punch of quiet devastation — a lone figure curled tightly into themselves, huddled in a small circle of dim light against an overwhelming darkness. It's a powerful visual from Charlie Adlard and Lukas Ketner that wordlessly communicates grief and isolation in a way few covers manage. This 2011 Image Comics issue also doubles as a flip book, packaging a Witch Doctor #0 on the reverse — two compelling reads for one $2.99 cover price.
