Set Description:
Sensei Ryan's Walking Dead (2003) CGC Comic Collection
Thank you for taking a moment to view my registry set!
*Note: This set contains the breakdown for my entire Walking Dead collection (as seen in the Complete with Variants set). While this set only contains books that have original Walking Dead content i still feel compelled to include my entire collection statistics.
Like many people, my passion for the Walking Dead came not from the beginning but rather from mid-way into the series. My late entry into the world of the Walking Dead happened because I did not pick up an issue until after the Fear the Hunters arc (my first issue purchased off the stands was issue #69). At the time the series debuted I was strictly a super-hero book connoisseur and I did not notice the black and white comic about zombies that would later captivate my attention. It is easy to say that this is by far my absolute favorite book to read from month to month. I love the show, I love the novels, and I especially love the comics. It is now my pleasure to present to you my humble Walking Dead (2003) registry set…while it is a continual work in progress it is definitely a labor of love.
Rot on! (as Tony would say)

One final important note to make about this set is that I have been published twice via letter submission to Letter Hacks - the official letters column for the Walking Dead comics. I was published in issues 122 and 123 (during the All-Out War story arc). Needless to say, I am incredibly honored to have a personal inclusion into the Walking Dead comic book series.
To conclude, this is my absolute favorite series to collect and I hope that this registry set showcases my sincere appreciation for The Walking Dead comic book series.
*Important note - it was on February 15th, 2015 at 10:20 PM that I became the leader for the first time of this registry set (and it was with my first Andrew Lincoln signed book). While I may not hold the top spot for very long it is nice to be able to say that I held the #1 spot at least for a little bit of time!
(Pictured above) I had the extreme honor to meet and speak at length with Tony Moore (co-creator and original artist of The Walking Dead) at the Louisville Comic Con in 2014! |
