Not many comics can say they made it to 100 issues but The Walking Dead will reach that milestone in the summer. Boosted by the success of the AMC television adaptation, The Walking Dead is the highest-selling trade-paperback and hardcover series in comics last month, it took all 10 spots on Amazon's top 10 list of graphic novels. So Kirkman wanted the 100th cover to be worthy enough for a landmark not many indie comics obtain. The image, by series artist Charlie Adlard is really amazing it features all the characters that have been killed during the first 100 issues, ranging from friends of Rick to his biggest enemy so far the Governor and even his wife Lori.
Issue 100 falls right in the "dead center" of what he calls the "craziest" story arc so far in the comic series, a bloody affair that finds Rick and his group of survivors thriving in a (seemingly) safe community, much like they did at the prison.
Kirkman has been hard at work on writing the comic since fall of 2003, yet Kirkman still feels like he's on issue 10.
"I really do want to do this for decades," he says. "I'm thrilled that it still feels like I have a full tank of gas." We can see that The Walking Dead still has a huge future ahead.
