About the character
Rick Grimes — the small-town sheriff who woke from a coma into a zombie apocalypse — is one of the most compelling protagonists in modern comics. His debut in Walking Dead #1 is now one of the most sought-after modern keys.
What is a first appearance worth?
The Walking Dead #1 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full The Walking Dead #1 valuation guide →
