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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B01GOTQI6K | | File Size | 2.1 GB | | Language | English | | Part Of The Walking Dead | The Walking Dead | | Publication Date | 14 Sept. 2016 | | Publisher | Image - Skybound | | Reading Age | 16 years and up | | X Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813lN+KNbLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely worth getting if you like the series *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 29 March 2012* I came into the Walking Dead craze a little late, the first series of the TV show had already been aired and it wasn't long before the second series was about to start. Luckily my girlfriend wanted the series 1 box set for her birthday and convinced me to watch it with her, hence the fandom began.I bought this compendium during the mid season break of series 2 and I was initially hesitant to start reading it because it might ruin the surprise of what happens in the series. For those of you with similar concerns, you don't need to worry about this. The book and series have the same characters (with some noticeable differences/absences) and while the plots are very similar, there are significant differences that means reading the book won't ruin the series. An example of this without giving too much away is that Shane died very early in the book but has only just been killed in the series.Now, onto the actual book:The artwork is very good; it is all in black and white and I originally thought this would bother me but after a while you don't even notice.The story itself is told very well, by that I mean there is some nice character development and the dialogue does not seem cheesy or out of place. There is plenty of action but also lots of quieter moments where you learn more about the characters so it's not just zombie killing the whole way through (although there is plenty of that of course).The story is a lot deeper than you would first expect, it really looks at how people would react and change due to a zombie apocalypse, raising questions like "what would you be willing to do to survive?".There is a lot of scope in this book, it covers what looks like the first three series of the TV show (as mentioned, with significant differences using the same locations/characters). Due to this it is huge and is great value for money just because of the amount of content.It may just be because the TV show moves quite slowly plot-wise and things are drawn out for TV but at times the book seemed to move very quickly, seeming to pass over what were major plot points in the series quite quickly. This wouldn't be an issue if you haven't seen the TV series though and it doesn't detract from the quality of the story.The series was based on the comics which were obviously written first so it lets you pick up on little things having read the book when watching the series that others wouldn't. For example, two things in the last episode of the second series made me excited for series 3, I'll leave you to determine which two things they were!I'm not really sure what else I can say about it besides from if you like the series or even if you haven't seen it and just like the whole zombie apocalypse thang then buy this book, you will not be disappointed. Hopefully the second compendium will come out soon! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 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. 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend for people who have watched the show. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 July 2026* As someone who previously watched the show, it cannot compare to the immaculate writing and world building of this comic. 8 volumes of pure genius by writer Robert Kirkman showing a community of survivors tackling the undead apocalypse 10/10 --- ## 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.no/products/120588681-the-walking-dead-compendium-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.no/products/120588681-the-walking-dead-compendium-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
