Rick waking upThe third page from the first issue of the blockbuster comic series, illustrated by Tony Moore, shows Sheriff Rick Grimes in his hospital room regaining consciousness from a coma after getting shot in the line of duty. Unpleasant as it may be to stir awake in a hospital, alone and disoriented, he can't begin to imagine the horrific new world he's waking up to. Struggling to regain control of himself, he removes his breathing tube and IV drip and literally falls out of bed before getting his bearings and finding his clothes and badge -- a link to his former life that, unbeknownst to him, has been changed forever by the cataclysmic global infestation by the dead who walk.
Tony Moore's artwork for the first six issues of Walking Dead is now legendary and has been eagerly snapped up by collectors who want to own a piece of what has become a pop-culture juggernaut, going on 175 issues, and inspiring two hit TV series. This classic Tony Moore piece is a perfect foreshadowing of mysteries to be solved and the dread to come.
