So How Many Copies Of Walking Dead #115 Will You Buy?

When X-Men #1 by Jim Lee and Chris Claremont was published, it had five covers that all joined together into one, and sold over eight million copies, breaking the world record for the most copies of a single comic ever sold. Although how many people actually bought is debatable…

Mark Millar tried something similar recently on Kick Ass 3, with six covers spelling out a phrase.

But in October, as The Walking Dead begins a new arc, issue 115 will ship with twelve covers, a standard cover, a blank cover for sketching, and ten covers that interlink, telling the story of ten years worth of The Walking Dead. A "decatych"?

Throw in a coloured version of Walking Dead #1 by Dave Stewart, a Walking Dead Tyreese reprint special and an Art of Charlie Adlard hardcover and tha should be a pretty impressive tenth anniversary package to kick off All Out War…
