SIGNED & SKETCH BY CYRUS RAFTERY ON 7/3/19
*You cant really have a Walking Dead #1 set filled with issue number one comics without having an actual first edition.
This particular number one copy has been turned into a tribute of sorts to the comic itself- and there are several easter-eggs sketched on this copy to celebrate the fantastic ride that the Walking Dead has taken us on.
•The signature date is 7/3/19- the day #193, the last issue of the series, was released
Thank You Rob, Tony, Charlie, Stefano, Image/Skybound- You somehow took an over saturated horror staple like zombies and turned it into an intriguing story that was hard to put down. This book is grounded in reality- so the character deaths are real- there is no coming back- and no one is ever safe from the Walking Dead-- And while I was on nurse duty tending my wife's' wounds from a near fatal car crash- I started at issue number one of this comic tale- and then number 2, then 3- and then I had a stack- and then I decided to grade them with the CGC- not for high grades, or resale, but to preserve the copies of the comic that helped get me through the days of sitting next to a hospital bed. The Walking Dead books I graded eventually turned into an award winning graded comic set- That set was eventually sold off to fund my sketch cover addiction- but I decided to keep ALL the #1 reprints- and even deepen the pile with international covers, and #1 homages. The existence of this comic changed my life- I sometimes wonder why getting dissolved into a world of horror and gloom, murder and pain seems like an escape.
Forever grateful-
-Mr Walking Dead
