The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 is here, collecting issues 1-48!Now's your chance to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time.Since 2003, Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead has been redefining the survival horror genre with its unique and vivid account of life after the end of the world. Although the cast is diverse and often changing (including, of course, a great number of zombies), at the heart of every tale is Rick Grimes: former police officer, husband, father, and de facto leader of a ragtag band of survivors looking to make a future for themselves in a world that no longer has one. To call The Walking Dead a zombie tale is accurate to a point, but it touches on only one facet of a story that asks timeless questions about what it means to live. It also asks whether or not this is possible in a world full of the dead. This is a great opportunity to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time. Collects Volumes 1-8.

"Such an excellent start to an amazing comic run. The comic is paced brilliantly by Robert Kirkman and i just love these characters. The Prison arc is one of my favorites from the tv show and i enjoy it even more in the comic series. Can’t wait to see how the story progresses next after Rick just experienced so much loss."
"Fantastic! Amazing. Its no wonder they turned it into a show! However- do not try reading this expecting it to be the same or even remotely similar to the show. Other than some settings and characters, not much is the same. Different personalities, situations, goals, drives, you name it! Also: Rated R for serious gore (duh!), violence ( double duh but its definitely graphic situations like torture & rape) and lots of sexual situations. "
