The Walking Dead #152 (Image Comics 2016) Charlie Adlard & Dave Stewart Cover

Written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics in 2016, The Walking Dead #152 captures a decisive phase in the series’ run, maintaining the established 28-page, full-color single-issue format that collectors and continuity readers track closely.

This installment carries a Rated M classification, reflecting mature storytelling, complex survival dilemmas, and the unredacted consequences central to the franchise. Interior artwork by Charlie Adlard, Stefano Gaudiano, and Cliff Rathburn supports Kirkman’s script, while Charlie Adlard and Dave Stewart execute the cover art around the “United in fear” storyline direction. The book retains the original $2.99 cover price and preserves the exact editorial layout, page count, and color separation used during the 2016 print run.

Readers and investors select this specific release because it sits squarely in the mid-to-late transition period before the franchise’s conclusion. It aligns with the expanded media rollout of the era while advancing the original comic’s independent narrative timeline. Unlike modern reprints or digest editions, this edition uses standard newsstand dimensions, retains the original character sequences, and avoids restructured chapters or adjusted panel scaling.
