Next year Wizard World and Skybound will offer a new series of limited edition exclusive variant covers of The Walking Dead. Robert Kirkman’s Eisner Award winning comic will be free to full price attendees at all 24 Wizard World Comic Cons in 2015. VIPs will receive an additional black and white sketch.

Artists chosen from the group that regularly attend Wizard World Cons will create the covers. The artists for each of the books will be announced once they have been chosen. The books will be produced in very limited quantities and are available to fans at the registration point at each convention while supplies last.

Wizard World ran a similar series of exclusives for The Walking Dead #1 in 2013. Robert Kirkman voiced his appreciation for Wizard World attendees who have supported The Walking Dead for years. John Macaluso the president and CEO of Wizard World pointed out the rise in popularity for The Walking Dead, particularly for celebrity guests like Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker, along with many cosplayers, artists, and merchandise at the shows.

The first limited edition exclusive variant for The Walking Dead will be available at Wizard World New Orleans January 9-11, 2015 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. View the full 2015 Wizard World show schedule on their website.
