It focuses on Rick Grimes, a Kentucky deputy who is shot in the line of duty and awakens from a coma in a zombie apocalypse that has resulted in a state - wide quarantine. After joining with other survivors, including his loved ones, he gradually takes on the role of leader of a community as it struggles to survive the zombie apocalypse. First issued in 2003 by publisher Image Comics, the comic is written by Kirkman with art by Moore ( issues No. 1 -- 6 ) and Charlie Adlard ( issue No. 7 onward ). Moore continued to do the covers through issue No. 24. The Walking Dead received the 2007 and 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series at San Diego Comic - Con International. The series was adapted into the AMC television series The Walking Dead, which premiered in 2010. The television program loosely follows the storyline of the comic book. The franchise has also spawned multiple additional media properties, including video games ( such as The Walking Dead video game ), a companion television series ( Fear the Walking Dead ), webisode series ( The Walking Dead : Torn Apart, The Walking Dead : Cold Storage, and The Walking Dead : The Oath ), and various additional publications, including novels ( The Walking Dead : Rise of the Governor ).

Romero 's Night of the Living Dead, with the series taking place in the 1960s. Image Comics co-founder Jim Valentino suggested using an original concept instead so the creators would own the property outright. The revised pitch became The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead debuted in 2003, published by Image Comics, with art by Tony Moore for the first six issues and Cliff Rathburn shading the art after issue five. Charlie Adlard took over as artist on issue # 7, after he was approached by Kirkman. Moore also did the cover art for the first twenty - four issues and the first four trade paperbacks. The remainder were done by Adlard. When the television series premiered in October 2010, Image Comics announced The Walking Dead Weekly. The first 52 issues of the series began to be reprinted on January 5, 2011, with one issue per week for a year. The series is periodically re-published in trade paperbacks which contain six issues each, hardcover books with twelve issues and occasional bonus material, omnibus editions of twenty - four issues, and compendium editions of forty - eight issues.

Another community out at sea is established, as well as safety perimeters across the DC area, which is violated by the presence of the Whisperers, a tribe of people disguised as the dead who have rejected the notion of re-establishing civilization. The leader, Alpha, antagonizes Rick as her daughter, Lydia, forms a sexual relationship with Carl. When Alpha 's second in command, Beta, takes leadership of the group, he declares war against the communities. The undead / reanimated The `` zombie idea '' developed by George Romero does not exist in The Walking Dead alternate universe ; hence, of all the myriad terms used to describe the undead by different communities throughout the show, the word `` zombie '' has been deliberately avoided. While it has been used extremely rarely in the comics, it has never been used in the show. Rick 's group classifies the undead as either walkers, roamers or lurkers, the former being more likely to venture toward a loud noise in search of human prey. Other names have been used by characters in the series, including biters and stinkers. The undead follow and mimic each other, which can result in enormous hordes travelling together, `` walking nonstop, following a sound they 've all forgotten, '' as Abraham puts it.
