Set Description:
My 5x CGC-award winning Best Set of Argentinian Los Muertos Caminantes (The Walking Dead) comics
I just love the AMC The Walking Dead (TWD) TV show. In May 2017, I visited the show's Season 1, Episode 1 Days Gone Bye set at Walton and Forsyth in downtown Atlanta where the 'Rick/walkers/tank' final scene was filmed.
In August 2019, I went to see the Charlie Adlard comic art exhibition Drawn of the Dead, held at Shrewsbury Museum, UK. The photograph below shows me at the entrance to the exhibition.
Now I have collected every The Walking Dead comic printed in English language, including First, Second and Third printings, Variants, Anniversary editions and all of the Convention and Expo editions, I have started collecting foreign language editions as an aside to my main collection. Please look at my Just Love the Walking Dead set here for full details of my multiple CGC award-winning TWD collections in English and other languages.
For several years, I have been building my CGC-graded TWD collections in foreign languages. Over time, I will work with CGC to add the sets that are not presently in the Registry.
My aim is to collect all of these comics either graded at 9.8 or in Signature Series. I have always liked collecting autographs, but so far, I have only one signed comic in this set:
Signatures Series - Co-creator and artist:
I have several TWD comics in my Registry Signature Series sets signed by the original series co-creator and artist Tony Moore, including Argentinian #1, Second Printing.

This is The Walking Dead number 1, first edition, Second Printing, Argentinian Edition. It reprints TWD numbers 1-2 in Spanish language.
This is a very nice specimen as it has been graded into the prestigious CGC Signature Series having been signed by the comic series co-creator Tony Moore in black sharpie on 27 April 2013. The signature placement is excellent, across the D, E and A of Dead, as it preserves the integrity of the cover artwork.
There are only 11 CGC-graded editions of this comic (graded between 9.2 and 9.8). This is one of two of the highest-rated in the Signature Series; there are x2 9.8s in the Universal label.
The creators of this comic were:
Robert Kirkman - creator and writer
Tony Moore - co-creator, hand-signed cover and interior art
