The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is a monthly black-and-white comic book series chronicling the travels of Rick Grimes, his family, and other survivors of a zombie apocalypse.

First issued in 2003 by publisher Image Comics, the comic was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore (who was later replaced by Charlie Adlard from issue #7 onward, though Moore continued to do the covers through issue #24.)

The Walking Dead received the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series at San Diego Comic-Con International. The series was loosely adapted into the AMC television series The Walking Dead, which premiered in 2010. The television program follows a rather different storyline than that of the comic book, and characters come and leave in a different order. It has however inspired a Kirkman-approved full length novel prologuing the comic book's timeline.
