Very clear - thank you again :-)

Can I just re-check the numbers on the #1? Yesterday you mentioned 60,814. Above you mentioned 31,043. Is this something/anything to do with the store variants (by my calculations 151 store variants x 500 copies minimum order = 75,500)? Do you know which is correct? Sorry to be "geeky"... Thanks, Stephen

Hi Mollie, I am starting on a new TWD set - please create it: Set name: Walking Dead (Mexico) - as https://kamite.com.mx/87-the-walking-dead The set should comprise: Comics 1-26 Governor Special Tyreese Special Michonne Special 10th Anniversary Edition La Mole Comic Con edition - as CGC #1362895009 Thank you, Regards Stephen

I agree too with Ryan and Blade. If it was not officially produced (and it wasn't - "It was never OK'd to print" - see below the official comment from Showcase), it should not be added to the official set. It reminds me of the fake "Museum Edition" bouncing around a while back. Theft should never be rewarded. From the Showcase Facebook site: "Attention everyone interested in the elusive Showcase Comics Walking Dead Variant: The eBay seller is not lying. This book is incredibly rare because it’s not supposed to exist. When we made our order for the variant we were super excited to do another store exclusive, but did not like the way the proof looked when it was emailed to us, so we cancelled the order before it went to print. Someone decided to run off a few copies I guess and they were leaked from the printer. We did not get ANY copies of this issue. It was never OK’d to go to print. The eBay seller is in no way affiliated with the store, we had zero knowledge that this book existed till Tuesday when we were contacted out of the blue by someone looking for a copy, then someone else, another someone else, and add another dozen and a half people to that in 2 days calling and looking for it, and you can see what we are dealing with right now. We have been in contact with Image regarding this issue and will keep you all posted."

DST - thank you for making Dan/Drummy such a happy man. I love the comic too.

You're not the only geek (!). I like data like this (especially if I believe it), and I hope you'll continue to research and share it. I believe the sales numbers here - I would expect #1, #19, #100 to sell above the others. How did #27 fare? It doesn't surprise me that #108 (Exeziel and Shiva) sold fewer. My observation is that the five (so called) 1:100s from the 15th Anniversary Blind Bags seem VERY rare indeed. If there really were 135-308 produced, they are are hardly showing up on the well-known auctions at all. We'll see.... Thank you for sharing. Top man!

So far as I can see, this thread now has just 25 followers. Very few of these appear active... As for me, I love the comics and I love the show. Can't wait for the return of the season 9 mid-season premiere next weekend. And I'm hoping to visit the Senoia TWD sets in May/June 2019.

I believe that Sensei Ryan has a HUGE collection of TWD SS comics. I'd be surprised if he didn't have an older one....

Walking Dead 2003 Complete with Variants: Please add the 15th Anniversary Edition issues 98E, 100E and 108E (under their respective 'D' editions in each case). Thank you Mollie :-)

Walking Dead 2003 Complete with Variants: Please move “WD 15th Anniversary Edition 1 Finch Variant covers A, B, C and D to below “WD 15thAnniversary Edition 1 Zombie Planet Edition” so that all of these 15th Anniversary comics are shown together in numerical order (from #1 – 171).

Walking Dead 2003 with Variants: Please can you widen the column to the right of ‘Score’ on the view page (i.e. the column with the eye/page icons). They present on top of each other instead of alongside (i.e. every book gets two lines, when one is just fine).

Hi Mollie, Please make the following 26 adjustments to The Walking Dead 2003 with Variants set listing: Walking Dead 15th Anniversary Edition 1 Please add these 20 comics (all 15th Anniversary Edition 1s): 1st Edition Edition (yes, two x ‘Edition’ – ‘1st Edition’ is its name) Another Dimension Comics Edition Collector Zone Edition Comic Traders Edition Comiczone Edition Enjoy Comics Edition Fantasy Realm Edition Giant Robot Edition Little Shop of Heroes Edition Limited Edition Edition (yes, two x ‘Edition’ – ‘Limited Edition’ is its name) Mad Ox Edition Newbury Comics Edition Redd Skull Comics Edition Rogues Gallery Comics Edition Showcase Comic Books and Collectibles Edition The Amazing Comic-Fever Edition The Comic Hunter Edition The Core Edition World’s End Edition Rostov-on-Don Edition Please remove these 2 (reason as noted): Legends Comics & Games Fresno Edition (the Legends & Games Edition above it in the list is the only one – duplication) Midtown Comics Online Edition (the Midtown Comics Edition above it in the list is the only one – duplication) Please make the following 4 corrections: BuyMeComics.com Edition should be named BuyMeToys.com Edition Comicaze Comics Books and More Edition should be ComicKaze Edition Infinite Mushroom Comic & Game Shop Edition should be The Infinite Mushroom Edition Laughing Ogre Comics Edition should be The Laughing Ogre Edition

Wise words, Glassman10. Buy what you love = wise words.

I have a #9 signed by Charlie Adlard on 20 April 2008

See my Walking Dead #1 journal here; comments and corrections welcomed:

I'd like to wish all Walking Dead fans and collectors a very happy Christmas from the UK. And a happy New Year 2019, Best wishes, Stephen

Not quite. I only added / corrected the international listings already present on the Registry. They are all in English language, and all of these were published in the US. I obtained my copies from the US, and I imagine that anyone else could do likewise if they wished to. TWD comics 85 and 106 in the set have English language, US published, British LCS editions. As an aside, CGC already has separate sets listed of Argentinian and Serbian sets of The Walking Dead books on the Registry.

I have reviewed the "Store" Edition list (of the 15th Anniversary editions) on our Registry today. There are several revisions to be made (in my opinion / advice), and I have written to Mollie as follows: Please add these 20 comics (all 15th Anniversary Edition 1s): 1st Edition Edition (yes, two x ‘Edition’ – ‘1st Edition’ is its name) Another Dimension Comics Edition Collector Zone Edition Comic Traders Edition Comiczone Edition Enjoy Comics Edition Fantasy Realm Edition Giant Robot Edition Little Shop of Heroes Edition Limited Edition Edition (yes, two x ‘Edition’ – ‘Limited Edition’ is its name) Mad Ox Edition Newbury Comics Edition Redd Skull Comics Edition Rogues Gallery Comics Edition Showcase Comic Books and Collectibles Edition The Amazing Comic-Fever Edition The Comic Hunter Edition The Core Edition World’s End Edition XO4Y Rostov-on-Don Edition (a Russian edition - the ‘XO4Y’ name is what is shown on the cover) Please remove these 3 (reason as noted): Bring Your Own Books Edition (it was not produced - confirmed by Ryan Phillips at the BYOB store) Legends Comics & Games Fresno Edition (the Legends & Games Edition above it in the list is the only one – duplication) Midtown Comics Online Edition (the Midtown Comics Edition above it in the list is the only one – duplication) Please make the following 4 corrections: BuyMeComics.com Edition should be named BuyMeToys.com Edition Comicaze Comics Books and More Edition should be ComicKaze Edition Infinite Mushroom Comic & Game Shop Edition should be The Infinite Mushroom Edition Laughing Ogre Comics Edition should be The Laughing Ogre Edition All-in-all, I believe there are 151 store editions, plus the generic Retailer Edition = 152.

As the "add" thread is closed, I wrote to Mollie today asking for the Walking Dead Day Special #nn to be added. Also missing is 98E, 100E and 108E. Something seems to have gone wrong with the width of the photo-eye/text column. Comics are now taking two lines instead of one (look and you'll see what I mean). I asked Mollie to look at that for us. Finally, I asked her to move the Finch variants (Blind Bag #1) so that they appear below the Zombie Planet Edition / above the Blind Bag #2s. Logical to keep them all together methinks. Happy weekend everyone! Cheers, Stephen

I only really collect TWD. I do have a few Amazing Spider-man books and others, but I picked those up along the way rather than actually collected them. I do like books from October 1965, my birth month/year.

Mollie has not added the all yet. There are 157 store variants, the generic Retailer variant, the Walking Dead Day Special (Two Day Special) and the x65 Bling Bag Books. The complete set size will increase by 224 books...

Comics in their 15th year of publication, TV show in its 9th season, comic conventions all over the world, theme park rides and attractions, movies on the way featuring original "Rick", trading cards and other memorabilia. This show and particularly its spin-offs could run forever. Anyone who likes any part of the WD story/universe could easily become a buyer of the early comic books. And so few were printed. Buy, buy, buy!

100% support adding these as proposed. These variants are showing as Cover A, Cover B, Cover C, Cover D on the actual slab labels (A = Colour, B= Colour Virgin, C = Sketch, D = Sketch Virgin).

There are 157 store variants - see the full list at https://www.skybound.com/the-walking-dead/comic/walking-dead-day-comic-shop-variant-list
