This isn't so much a review of The Walking Dead series as it is a general FYI and reading recommendation.
It's no secret that I'm a pansy with an overactive imagination which means I don't read a lot of "scary" books. Most zombie books freak me out, but I really enjoyed The Walking Dead series. I had originally borrowed the first few volumes from a friend and loved it. It's an excellent story filled with action, drama, and lots and lots of body parts. I think it's a perfect series for those who enjoy the horror genre or the TV series. It's also a great comic for those who don't normally or never have read comics. The Walking Dead is a straight forward story with illustrations. It is well laid out and easy to follow, a good choice for those wanting to give graphic novels a try. While I prefer Tony Moore's style over Charlie Adlard, the black and white illustrations are generally fantastic but violent and graphic.
This Christmas I got my husband The Walking Dead Compendium, Vol. 1 which includes issues 1-48. It's huge, over 1,000 pages, and a bit daunting. I would recommend getting the smaller volumes which are only 144 pages long. You should trying them out from your library, but be warned, there's normally a wait for the books.

I was so happy that this book didn't make me jump or freak me out. You've mentioned before that you're a little interested in graphic novels and this is a good one to start with.
