Set Description:
My collection of The Walking Dead comics
This is my The Walking Dead (TWD) mini-set. On 1st October 2020, it was the only complete set of 221 TWD comics. Please look at my main set Just Love the Walking Dead set here for full details of my other, multiple CGC award-winning TWD collections in English and other languages.
I just love The Walking Dead AMC TV show and its wider universe (FTWD, TWDWB). In May 2017, I visited the TWD Season 1, Episode 1 set in downtown Atlanta where the 'Rick/walkers/tank' pilot finale scene was filmed. Since then, I have visited dozens of other filming locations (as noted in my main set - link above).
I collect the Image/Skybound comics upon which the TV show is based. In my collection, I have every one of the 670 English-language editions of The Walking Dead comics. I also collect the non-English-language versions in their respective CGC sets.
Pictured below are the first and last TWD comics #1 and #193. The first was the issue which started everything. My first CGC journal was based on this comic. The journal provides a unique review of this iconic October 2003 issue, with analysis of all 260 cover variants and reprints, its prowess in the CGC Registry and in the re-sale market - see here .
 
Autographs
Since I was a kid, I have enjoyed collecting autographs. My main set (link above) highlights all of my CGC graded, prestigious Signature Series comics in my collection. I have added some photographs of items in my collection:
 
    
My collecting objective and notes:
My overall objective is to collect all of the TWD comics complete with variants either CGC graded at 9.8, or in Signature Series. I present these in a variety of established CGC sets.
