The Walking Dead Compendium #1

The first massive omnibus collection of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's landmark zombie survival series, gathering the first 48 issues of The Walking Dead into a single volume. The story follows Rick Grimes, a sheriff's deputy who awakens from a coma into a world overrun by the undead, and chronicles his desperate efforts to protect his wife Lori, son Carl, and a growing band of survivors — including Michonne, Glenn, and Tyreese — as they navigate threats both living and dead. This compendium covers the series' earliest and most formative arcs, establishing the brutal, character-driven tone that made the title a defining work in American comics.
