In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family, he must now sort through all the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. 30474 book 2004 The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye total:2263|5:1039|4:814|3:341|2:58|1:11| 2263 9601 2772 262 4 5 true false Fri Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 05 10:38:50 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 10:56:28 -0700 2008 once, to get it to stop moaning and groaning in the corner
