The Walking Dead

Vol. 1-

by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard

Image Comics, 2004-

The hardcover collects 2 volumes of the softcover. i.e. Book 1 of the hardcover is actually Vol. 1 & 2 of the softcovers. Get it? I didn't invent the numbering system, so.... :)

What make The Walking Dead so compelling is the human drama. That, and the fact that while the dead are a danger to the living, the greatest threat usually comes from the living themselves. It's a brand new world that a group of survivors find themselves in. As they make their way across the new landscape, they come across other survivors. How did the zombie plaque come about? Is there a cure? No one knows. But it's the journey the characters make as they search for answers and new ways to survive that is the crux of the story.
