Image Comics To Publish 30 Walking Dead Tribute Variant Covers In October

Image Comics is continuing to run themed variant comic book covers for their 25th anniversary year. And in October that means a tribute to Image Comics' most successful title, The Walking Dead, from Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. With each of the 30 variant covers, spread across Image's range of titles, homaging different issues of The Walking Dead.

Images have yet to be released, but Image has made a change to the catalogue listings for Diamond's August Previews by stating what the Image variant theme is going to be in standard solicitations, and putting the codes alongside the standard covers, rather than announcing them at a later date.

Here's a list of the comics in question, the issue number for each tribute and the artist, in most cases, the artist of the issue on which the cover appears, or the writer or creator of the comic.
