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. Review: Great read - Took my time with this one, the story is great, but has some very dark bits here & there, some funny bits too. Andrea was a bit of a pain in the arse on the tv series, but she's one of my favourites in these comics. 10/10 highly recommend if you're a fan of the show. Review: We are the Walking Dead!!! - It has been ages since a TV show grabbed my attention. I burned through the first season and waited for the second, completely oblivious to the fact that it was based on a comic book still running strong till a friend told me. I hesitated ordering it till the finale of Season three of the TV series thinking that the book would spoil it for me but I did and to my shock, the book is different when it comes to the storyline. True, the characters are the same and some of the settings (like the prison and the farm - these two are in the book as well) but what they go through in the books are different from what they suffer in the series. For those out there thinking the books or the TV series would spoil the other, you are wrong. At the time of writing this, the two are not completely related except the characters. With that out of the way, the book does a splendid job of juggling between zombies chomping and human brutality in a world where the living come back from the dead. Different characters have different back-stories that just doesn't make them extras in a book but a person you 'may' relate to. One thing I may add here which I don't think a lot of reviews have touched here. The storyline is not for the weak of heart. There are underlying tones of suicide, torture, rape and many other crude stuff. This is certainly not the kind of book you would buy for your 13 year old nephew or grandson. Characters change and develop when they go through such horrors and how they overcome (or don't) is something that makes this book unique. As for the compendium itself, its a collection of first 49 issues of the comic series still running strong. Its an excellent value for money. The book itself is split in chapters (not issues) so you won't be disturbed with pages that say 'End of issue One' that goes up to 49. Its a neatly compiled book gives you necessary breaks between chapters for you to catch your breath. On the service side, the condition of the book was neat, clean and the delivery was fast. Overall, an excellent book for adults that is excellent value for money, considering you are not paying for 49 comic issues but one. Recommended for all mature comic book readers out there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GOTQI6K | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | 163,331 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) 27 in Zombie Graphic Novels 83 in Horror Graphic Novels (Books) 264 in Horror Graphic Novels (Kindle Store) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (9,501) | | Enhanced typesetting | Not Enabled | | File size | 2.1 GB | | Guided View | Enabled | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Not Enabled | | Part of Series | The Walking Dead | | Print length | 1062 pages | | Publication date | 14 Sept. 2016 | | Publisher | Image - Skybound | | Reading age | 16 years and up | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813lN+KNbLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by R***S on 27 June 2026* Took my time with this one, the story is great, but has some very dark bits here & there, some funny bits too.

While the game was a very moving experience (and there are a few character linkages between the two), the comic book series is where the game's roots are from. My expectations were quite high because of how much I was moved by the game. When this comic book compendium arrived, it met my high expectations on all levels! Without giving away the story too much it follows the protagonist, Rick Grimes, a police officer. However there are points in the comic book where side character developments are explored in more detail. The reader gets to view how this new and disturbing world transforms people, no matter what their background. I found that the story was very gripping and that it was difficult to put down without wanting to turn over and read the next event that unfurled. The detailed black and white illustrations arguably aid the reader to feel a sense of hopelessness that is brought by the zombie apocalypse. The dialogue is excellently written, and there are certain times when things are left to interpretation especially after horrific events have occurred. Because time is often difficult to pinpoint (as it would be in a zombie apocalypse...) the reader is left to interpret what certain characters are going through at certain points. All this is combined with a few plot twists here and there which further grips the reader. This was my first purchase of a comic book compendium and with over 1000 pages, the compendium certainly is value for money. I would particularly recommend it to people that like post-apocalyptic fiction or survival horror. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/120588681-the-walking-dead-compendium-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.it/products/120588681-the-walking-dead-compendium-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
