The Walking Dead, Vol. 1 by Kirkman, Adlard, & Rathburn, 132 pages


The first entry in the graphic novels featuring the comic book sensation The Walking Dead. The premise behind this series is that a plague has struck, with the dead becoming flesh-eating zombies. The story follows Rick, a cop who is shot and falls into a coma. When he wakes up, his whole world has changed. He must fight his way out of a hospital that is empty except for zombies, and make his way home. Except when he gets home, his wife and son are gone. His only hope is making it to Atlanta, which is supposed to be a safe haven from the zombies. Maybe his family is there. These books are a collection of the comic books, and a must read for fans of the AMC TV show. The storyline is fast-paced and the dark, stark art work lends itself to the violent and disturbing theme.
