The Walking Dead comic book series is making a comeback, with a colorful twist.
Robert Kirkman’s zombie apocalypse series will return in October, in the form of The Walking Dead Deluxe, a full-color revival of the iconic horror comic book. Dave McCaig is the colorist of the series, lending his talents to the foundations of co-creator Tony Moore and long-running artist Charlie Adlard. The first issue will arrive on October 7, with the plan to release two issues monthly from November onward.
Additionally, Walking Dead Deluxe will also include a new installment of “The Cutting Room Floor,” featuring Kirkman’s original handwritten plots with commentary on abandoned storylines and plot points that may have changed along the way.
