Set Description:
I have loved TWD since the first episode of the TV show, however while I binged on the Compendiums, I did not buy my first single issue until #166 and my first CGC book in November, 2017. So I'm a late bloomer but catching up! I will be building this set over a long time, with a focus on high quality Signature Series books as much as possible.
Check out my pic of #2, my favorite book in the listing. This book has an awesome Tony Moore sketch, created with a very thin artist's pen vs. some sketches (like my #19) where Tony uses the thin Sharpie used to sign the book.
My decision to start this set was made on July 8, 2018 with the purchase of #25 2xSS from Sensei Ryan to join my random few early TWD books. I expect this to be a multi-year journey to complete this set but intend to be patient.
My goal is to have every issue in Signature Series with dual signatures from Robert Kirkman and at least one of the cover/interior artists, with a few fun deviations along the way, in custom TWD holders
I am pleased to have had an engaging discussion in Letter Hacks with Sean and Robert in Issue #186 and another letter published in Issue #187. I have also been published in Walking Dead Deluxe LH Issues #7 and #19.
As of June, 2020, 43 of the 50 books in this set are 2xSS, 3xSS or 2xSS with sketch. 45 are in new version holders with custom Walking Dead labels.
