For Mature Readers: Book contains explicit imagesThe Walking Dead is an American zombie apocalypse media franchise centered on a number of television series based on the comic book of the same name. Created by Robert Kirkman, along with Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard in 2003, the comic book series and the TV show that followed, form the core of The Walking Dead franchise. The story features a large ensemble cast as survivors of a zombie apocalypse trying to stay alive under near-constant threat of attacks from zombies known as “walkers”. With the collapse of modern civilization, these survivors must confront other human survivors who have formed groups and communities with their own sets of laws and morals, sometimes leading to open conflict between them.

The Walking Dead Book Five features issues #49-60 of the hit Image Comics series along with the covers for the issues all in one over-sized hardcover volume. Perfect for long time fans, new readers and anyone needing a slightly heavy object with which to fend off the walking dead. In this volume, No one is safe. Out on their own, danger lurking around every corner, our ragged band of survivors tries to live long enough to reach Washington D.C… but at what cost? Now after the staggering losses they’ve sustained, Rick and Carl are left to pick up the pieces and carry on…knowing that they could join their fallen friends and family at any moment. Hardcover includes a Walking Dead sketchbook / art gallery.
