Set Description:
Welcome to my Everything 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 (marketed as cover B) and comic art.
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.
With two new issues published each month, it will likely be the end of 2028 when the final issue #193 is re-issued. By that time, there will be "a lot" of comics in the set. With #FoilFever infecting the re-issue, there were fifteen (15) covers for issue #1 alone...
New Covers
For this series, David Finch created a new cover (marketed as 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.
The series also features new covers by guest artists Julian Totino Tedesco (1-2D, 8-9C, 11C, 13C, 15C, 17C, 19C, 23-5C, 27-9D, 31D, 34E, 36-7D, 40D, 42D, 46-51D, 55D, 58D, 59D, 61D, 63D, 66D, 67D, 69D, 70D, 74D, 75D, 77D, 83D, 90D, 100D), Arthur Adams (1E, 2E, 3D, 10C, 19D, 27F, 53D, 54D, 55E, 59E, 70E, 92D, 95D, 98D, 100E), Dave Rapoza (13-18C/D), Ethan Young (14D), Tillie Walden (16D), Rob Liefeld (19F), Mel Milton (19G), Chase Conley (19H), Karen Darboe (19 CVL, 89 SDCC Full Dress, Full Art, and Foil), Andrei Bressan (25-30C/E), Adriano Lucas (25-30C/E), Daniel Warren Johnson (27GH/ECCC), Mike Spicer (27), Mike Del Mundo (31C-36C), Stephen Platt (37C-42C), Pablo Rivera (43C-48C), Tula Lotay (49C-54C), Tonci Zonjic (50F), Andy Kubert (50G), Brad Anderson (50G), Francis Manapul (55-60C), Stephanie Hans (61-66C), Conor Hughes (67-72C), J. H. (James) Williams III (73-78C), Joe Quesada and Richard Isanove (75E), Greg Capullo (75F), Mateus Santolouco (79-84C), Annie Wu (85-90C), Sean and Jacob Phillips (91-96C), Mattia de Iulis (97-102C), Yasmine Putri (100G), Simon Bisley (100H), Derek Hunter (100I), and Nate Bellegarde and Olli Hihnala (103C); as well as other new covers by Charlie Adlard (19, 25, 27 and 27LCS/foil, 34, 38, 42, 50, 53, 100F).
My Set
My set was the first CGC Registry set created for this new series. Every comic in my set has been graded 9.8, or higher, and/or into CGC's prestigious Signature Series.
Notes
Note 1. Please look at my original TWD comic set Just Love the Walking Dead here.
Note 2. On 23rd July 2021, I was delighted to win the very first CGC Registry Best Set award for this set (one of six CGC Awards presented to me that day for my TWD/TWDD sets). While I did not hold the #1 spot for the whole year, it feels fantastic to know that I was the first to hold the top spot in this brand new TWD-universe set.
Note 3. I passed the 3,000 points threshold on 24 February 2024.
Note 4. This set received its 325th viewing on 6th November 2024. Thank you for your interest :-)

Issue #1 of The Walking Dead Deluxe with red embossed foil logo. This was an LE issue, a part of the 2020 outbreak of #FoilFever
This comic was produced in extremely limited numbers, and mainly gifted to Skybound employees, with some in the "lucky dip" that were the Skybound mystery boxes. I have two graded copies (a 9.8, and a 9.9) from a total of possibly 250-ish? (there are 234 in the Registry).
This was my 19th comic graded at 9.9 by CGC.
CGC Registry 11/2024 = 234. 10 @9.9, three higher (3 @10/Gem).

My comic has an original sketch of Shane Walsh drawn by and signed by Charlie Adlard. It was obtained as a signed, raw comic from Infinity and Beyond, in Shrewsbury. It was however formally unwitnessed, so has a qualified CGC label.
