The Walking Dead #109 (Image Comics 2013) Charlie Adlard Regular Cover

The Walking Dead #109 tracks Maggie Greene and Sophia rebuilding daily routines at the Hilltop colony in this 2013 Image Comics single. Written by Robert Kirkman, with interior art and cover rendering credited to Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn, the issue emphasizes psychological recovery and settlement logistics over frontline combat. Original retail pricing for this print run was established at $2.99.

Adlard’s regular cover presents clean, high-contrast linework optimized for straightforward shelf arrangement. Inside, the narrative maintains measured pacing, focusing explicitly on how former camp survivors adjust to structured community life. This installment serves as direct continuity for readers tracking Maggie’s administrative responsibilities or monitoring Sophia’s social adaptation within the settlement perimeter.

Buyers assembling a complete monthly sequence will note how this volume temporarily pauses broader threat escalation to establish territorial foundations. The standard cover format eliminates alternate artwork variables, streamlining inventory matching and binding preparation. Securing this exact issue ensures the intended Kirkman-written storyline flows seamlessly into subsequent Hilltop-centered episodes without narrative gaps.
