ComicConnect’s Walking Dead Collection auction night, ending December 11, 2018 at 7 PM ET, is packed with high grade comics and collectibles.

Before the biters, floaters, geeks, lurkers, and roamers stumbled their way across our home theater screens in AMC’s The Walking Dead, the walkers first shambled their way into readers hearts in Image Comics’ popular 2003 comic. The book picked up readers, popularity, and buzz, gradually gaining a cult following. With the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series alongside the announcement of the TV series, the book is a smash with merchandising eclipsing all modern titles. 

Collectors are ravenous for original art, memorabilia, and high grade copies of the series along with the rare reprints and special editions that nearly every issue is replete with. Original art collectors can pick up a Tony Moore splash page from issue 1, a Tony Moore interior page from #3, the Charlie Adlard splash from issue #39, and can choose from over 100 original art lots. 

“In addition to the incredible selection of art, we are proud to present signature series copies, variants galore, sketch covers, highest graded copies, and rarities of all kind,” said Vincent Zurzolo, COO of the NYC-based auction house. “Walker love is global, and collectors are eager to snatch up rare items as new generations compete in the hunt for living dead treasures.”

Issues in the auction include Walking Dead #1 CGC 9.8, the extremely rare third print for #116 CGC 9.8 Charlie Adlard Signature Series, the #25 CGC 9.8 Error Edition, and the Kirkman signed Lucille Edition for #100. “Don’t miss the eight Hero Initiative sketch covers!” Zurzolo said.
