    About this ebook

    It's surprising to think there's never been a real zombie TV series in the US, outside of the five part imported Brit mini-series Dead Set. As the popularity of zombie movies has accelerated in tandem with the archetypal moaning shuffler to the full on (and infinitely more worrying) enraged, sprinting cadaver (thanks to the 2002 Brit-flick 28 Days Later), so they've influenced comic books, which have in turn circuitously spawned a slew of zombie movies and eventually, this show.
    The Walking Dead proved to be the zombie series people were waiting for; whether you are a fan of the show looking for a refresher for what happened in season one, or just want to know what all the fuss is about, then this is the book for you.
    The guide provides a recap of every episode (be warned of spoilers), descriptions of every major character, and a history of the shows production and origins.

As the popularity of zombie movies has accelerated in tandem with the archetypal moaning shuffler to the full on (and infinitely more worrying) enraged, sprinting cadaver (thanks to the 2002 Brit-flick 28 Days Later), so they've influenced comic books, which have in turn circuitously spawned a slew of zombie movies and eventually, this show.

      Show Background

      The Walking Dead started as a monthly black and white comic book series in 2003, from Image Comics, which continues to run to this day. The series was created and is still written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Charlie Adlard, following on from Tony Moore, the initial artist who left after the sixth issue. The series won an Eisner Award in 2010 for Best Continuing Series.
