The Walking Dead Deluxe #39

Few images in Robert Kirkman's sprawling zombie saga carry quite the emotional weight of this one: a newborn infant, crying and slick with the mess of birth, cradled in blood-streaked hands against a tense red-to-gray gradient. David Finch's cover art is raw and visceral, capturing both the fragile miracle of new life and the brutal world surrounding it. Charlie Adlard and Dave McCaig bring their signature grit to the interiors of this 2022 Image deluxe edition — a compelling package for anyone following this landmark series.
