BEHOLD J.H. WILLIAMS III’S CONNECTING VARIANT COVERS FOR THE WALKING DEAD DELUXE

There are artists and then there are artists’ artists. J.H. Williams III is one of the latter, that rare breed of talent to whom the word “visionary” handily applies. With unforgettable work on Promethea, Batwoman, and The Sandman: Overture to his credit, we’re now lucky enough to have Williams supply the art for six connecting variant covers of Skybound’s The Walking Dead Deluxe. Check out a gallery of these covers, as well as the mosaic they form, below — after these official details on the issues…

Today Skybound revealed a breathtaking set of all-new The Walking Dead Deluxe connecting variant covers from award-winning comics legend J.H. Williams III (Detective Comics, Batwoman, Echolands). Covering the “Too Far Gone” arc of the landmark comic series, Williams III’s covers showcase a breathtaking depiction of fan-favorite characters.

These all-new covers will appear as variants to The Walking Dead Deluxe #73-78, with each issue presenting the series in full color format for the first time from writer/creator Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard and colors by Dave McCaig. Fans will also receive a new look at the worldwide pop culture phenomenon with pinups and exclusive “Cutting Room Floor” commentary by Kirkman, celebrating the secret history of the series.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #73 (Lunar codes listed below | $3.99) will be available at comic book shops and digital platforms including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.

This set of connecting covers joins the previously announced massive lineup of The Walking Dead Deluxe covers debuting this October, with the series going weekly in celebration of the milestone 20^th anniversary.  For more information, visit skybound.com.
