He’s Back! The Covers of THE WALKING DEAD: THE GOVERNOR SPECIAL

The people behind The Walking Dead are twisted. And by “people” I mean Robert Kirkman. Why do I say this? Well, to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Image Comics and Skybound are releasing The Walking Dead: The Governor’s Special. Because what’s more romantic than sadism and psychopathy?

The Walking Dead: The Governor Special reprints The Walking Dead #27–the first appearance of The Governor–and The Governor short story from the CBLDF Liberty Annual 2012.

Here’s the regular cover:

THE WALKING DEAD Governor Special #1

Comments

  1. Any Walking Dead news is kind of a bummer to me as it will still be some years before Compendium #3 comes out. The good news is that I will have plenty of time to reread #1 and #2 before it does.

  2. Would be great if it offered new material instead of just some reprints. I bought the Michone special thinking it was gonna be new stuff, oh well…
