About the series
Collecting the first 48 issues of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's landmark zombie saga, this massive trade paperback from Image Comics launched in 2009 and ran through 2019. Anchored by Rick Grimes' struggle to survive in a world overrun by the undead, the series redefined horror comics with its unflinching look at human nature under extreme duress. With Tony Moore's early issues setting the visual tone and Adlard's gritty pencils defining the long-running look, it became the definitive way to experience the story that reshaped modern comics.
