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 One features issues #1-12 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, An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. Rick Grimes is not prepared for this. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family he must now sort through the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son in a treacherous landscape littered with packs of the walking dead. The hardcover includes a Walking Dead sketchbook / art gallery.
