The Walking Dead #1 – Image Firsts 2024 Edition is the latest reprint of the iconic debut that changed the face of modern horror comics. Originally created by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Tony Moore, this edition is part of Image Comics’ Image Firsts line, bringing back landmark issues at an affordable entry point for new readers and collectors alike.

Set in a stark, post-apocalyptic landscape, the story follows Rick Grimes, a small-town sheriff's deputy who awakens from a coma to find the world overrun by the undead. As he searches for his family, Rick must navigate a society unravelled, where danger comes not only from the flesh-eating walkers but also from the living. This first issue lays the foundation for what would become one of the most influential and enduring sagas in independent comics.

This 2024 printing gives fans a chance to own or gift a piece of comic book history—perfect for those who missed the original or simply want a fresh, affordable copy to preserve. While the core content remains untouched, the Image Firsts label ensures you’re receiving a recognised collector’s item with a re-release date clearly marked, distinguishing it from earlier prints.

Robert Kirkman’s storytelling in this premiere issue is quiet and character-driven, letting horror emerge through isolation, fear, and moral dilemmas. Meanwhile, Tony Moore’s artwork delivers the grit and raw emotional intensity that propelled the series into the cultural spotlight.

Whether you’re revisiting a classic or discovering it for the first time, this edition is a must-have. Ideal for both collectors and casual readers, it’s a reminder of how this groundbreaking series began—with silence, desolation, and the slow creep of terror.

Each copy is protected with an acid-free bag and firm backing board, preserving its condition for storage or display. It will be dispatched quickly in a durable, reinforced book mailer, designed to prevent damage during transit. Your order comes directly from our online UK-based comic book store, known for fast shipping, secure packaging, and excellent service for collectors and fans alike.
