SNEAK PEEK: INSIDE ISSUE #2 OF
THE WALKING DEAD, THE OFFICIAL MAGAZINE
David Morrissey spills the beans on playing The Governor, while Robert Kirkman reveals what to look forward to in the coming weeks
Following the announcement earlier this month that the hotly anticipated first issue of The Walking Dead, The Official Magazine is already one of Diamond’s best selling magazines of all time, Titan Magazines and Skybound reveal what’s inside the upcoming second issue.
Hitting stores on December 18, this 100-page issue dips another toe in the bloody waters of everything The Walking Dead, from the comic to the series and everything in-between: Creator/writer Robert Kirkman answers readers’ questions and reveals what to look forward to in the coming weeks; The Governor himself, David Morrissey, reveals what it’s like to play the villain; we interview make-up/SFX legend and co-executive producer Greg Nicotero; and, in the comics, we profile Rick’s current nemesis, Negan, and pay our respects to those original survivors who are now worm food. We’ll also have all the latest news, reviews and tips for The Walking Dead fans.
This issue comes with a main newsstand cover featuring David Morrissey as ‘The Governor’ and an alternative art cover by The Walking Dead comic artist Charlie Adlard, colored by The Walking Dead colorist Cliff Rathburn. Retailers can order this from the November edition of Diamond PREVIEWS.
Retailers can still order copies of the hit issue #1 from Diamond, who have now extended its ordering deadline due the overwhelming response. Any retailers wishing to order this highly demanded issue, or place a reorder, are urged to do so before the issue #1 release date of October 23.
