Following in the footsteps of the award winning graphic novels and the
record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original
Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest
villain, The Governor.
The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard Magazine the year
he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial arc in the history of
The Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking
Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to
such extremes.
Comic fans note: This novel is part of the continuity for TWD comic. This
should be just as good as the comic (TV, too!) and a great way to start off –
with the Governor's story!
