The Walking Dead Deluxe (2020)

The Walking Dead: Deluxe is a definitive re-release of Robert Kirkman’s groundbreaking zombie survival saga, originally published in black and white. Debuting in 2020, this deluxe edition presents the full story in color for the first time, with every issue featuring fresh artwork by Dave McCaig and commentary from Kirkman’s original handwritten scripts.

The series follows Rick Grimes, a small town sheriff who awakens from a coma to find the world overrun by the undead. As he searches for his family, Rick becomes the reluctant leader of a group of survivors, navigating the collapse of society, the threat of walkers, and the darker dangers posed by humanity itself.

This deluxe run is not a reboot but a faithful colorized version of the complete 193 issue saga. Beyond its visual refresh, the series offers a behind-the-scenes look into Kirkman’s creative process, making it both a collector’s item and an accessible entry point for new readers.
