In comics and on television, The Walking Dead has become a huge pop culture hit and now fans can bid on comics and original art from the series at ComicConnect.

While the comics and show follow similar trajectories, the two differ in some storylines and characters. Comic books, while cinematic in structure, still prove problematic to adapt for films and TV series. Some elements that work well in a comic book, read differently on the screen.

“One glaring difference between The Walking Dead comic book and the television series is the character of Daryl Dixon,” Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect, said. “He’s a rogue archetype that captured the viewing public from the beginning with a trusty crossbow, a cool motorcycle, and his rude dude ’tude and neither Daryl nor his brother, Merle, appeared in the pages of the comics.”

Production artwork by the late John Watkiss features alternative concepts of previously known characters from the comics and new ones created only for the TV show.

In addition to the Watkiss pieces, original art investors will find The Walking Dead #1 page 2 by Tony Moore, the covers to issue 27 and 108 (plus the interior pages) by Charlie Adlard, and dozens more.

“Did I mention the highest-graded collection of The Walking Dead comics is in this auction,” Zurzolo asked. “I couldn’t be more excited to offer this incredible run all in one night.” Collectors will find Walking Dead #1 CGC 9.9, dozens of variant #100 copies, #7 CGC 10.0, and #9 CGC 10.0.

Interested bidders can see the full listings of The Walking Dead Collection on ComicConnect’s website. The auction ends Tuesday, December 5 at 7 PM ET.
