Introducing the first eight volumes of the fan-favorite, New York Times Best Seller series collected into one massive paperback collection! Collects The Walking Dead #1-48. This is the perfect collection for any fan of the Emmy Award-winning television series on AMC: over one thousand pages chronicling the beginning of Robert Kirkman''s Eisner Award-winning continuing story of survival horror- from Rick Grimes'' waking up alone in a hospital, to him and his family seeking solace on Hershel''s farm, and the controversial introduction of Woodbury despot: The Governor. In a world ruled by the dead, we are finally forced to finally start living.


This Walking Dead "Compendium" is a compilation of Volumes 1 through 8 (or call it Books 1 through 4, or call it issues 1 through 48), and it continues the story of (former) Police Officer Rick Grimes and his band of normal-world-refugees across a world suddenly infected by a Walking Dead sickness..

The group finds a new home after a perilous Georgia countryside journey at the start of the story only to find out that zombies may be the least of their problem, and what is deemed a safe haven is only as safe as the protection it offers against zombies. Yes...venturing out into The New World is dangerous. Outside the gates of the new home awaits unfathomable chaos and horror; hordes of the undead, along with other survivors in desperate situations that do the unthinkable to stay alive (or entertained).

As the story matures, it is much less about zombies and more about what happens to society, its morals, laws and standards when government is lost and the planet becomes mostly uninhabitable. There's real, heartfelt emotion in The Walking Dead series combined with believable scenarios.

Volume 16 of The Walking Dead offers hope to the dying community that Rick has found himself in charge of. But finding hope in The Walking Dead often ends badly, really badly. Will this be the kind of hope that leaves you brutally tortured and missing a hand? Or will the hilltop community finally offer a glimpse about how to rebuild America?

The graphic novel is steeped with the language of a new beginning. From the messenger's nickname of "Jesus" to the fact that it is a city upon a hill (a new Jerusalem?), the language promises a real start for civilization. In order to become part of this new hilltop community, however, Rick will have to risk his group by fighting the one thing on earth more dangerous than walkers: other humans!

Robert Kirkman has a knack for storytelling that allows the reader to hold a piece of the hope for the future that is always just a little farther down the road. No matter how many times that hope is snatched away, readers are brought into Rick and the groups' world through a masterful writing.

Volume 16 continues the cliff-hanger, white-knuckled series. If you've been following The Walking Dead, this novel won't disappoint.
