Set Description:
This is CGC’s MOST-AWARDED TWD Deluxe comic 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. 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 (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.

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).
