Set Description:
Welcome to CGC’s MOST-AWARDED TWD Deluxe set
Introduction
From October 2020, Image Skybound reissued The Walking Dead (TWD) comics in full colour as The Walking Dead Deluxe (TWDD). Dave McCaig coloured Tony Moore's and Charlie Adlard's original TWD covers (cover B) and comic art. With two new issues published each month, it will likely be the end of 2028 when the final issue #193 is re-issued.
I was so happy to have a letter I had written feature in Letter Hacks of TWDD #67. I now feel officially a small part of the TWD universe.
New Covers
For this series, David Finch created a new cover (cover A) coloured by McCaig for each issue, also #1 Sketch, #7 Sketch, #1-12 Second Printing / Virgin Sketch / Gold foil (CVL) and Red Sketch foil (CVL), 52 Variant, and 53 Variant.
For the first time, Charlie Adlard created covers for issues #1-6, all of which are shown below. In the original TWD series, the first six covers were created by Tony Moore, with Charlie taking over from #7.
