The world as we know it has disappeared. Definitely. Rick and his group of survivors leave the Atlanta area in search of the shelter that will protect them from the constant attacks of the dead-living. Chance smiles at them when they find on their way a huge penitentiary left to abandon. At least, they think so because once the surroundings are cleaned, they meet the occupants of the prison. The founding work of the genre in comic strip, Walking Dead is imposed by its quality of writing and its attention to the relationships between the characters of this incredible human adventure. Indeed, beyond the scenes where the threat of the dead-living appears, the authors lead us into a narrative where survival is the affair of every moment, and where the slightest error can prove fatal.
