AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A particularly rare and sought-after collectible from the early years of one of the 21st century’s most iconic comic book series!

Offered here is an original FIRST PRINTING of The Walking Dead #2, published by Image Comics in October 2003 and professionally graded by CGC at 8.5 (Very Fine+) with WHITE PAGES.

This is not a reprint or a later edition, but an authentic copy from the original 2003 production period, when The Walking Dead was still a relatively unknown independent comic book series.

Particularly limited original print run – approximately 6,067 copies!

One of the most notable features of The Walking Dead #2 is its particularly low original print run.

According to published print-run figures, only approximately 6,067 copies of the first printing were produced.

This comic was published long before The Walking Dead grew into a global entertainment phenomenon. The early issues were printed in relatively small quantities at the time, making original copies interesting collectibles today.

Early first printings in professionally graded condition, especially those designated White Pages, are particularly appealing to serious collectors.

Original edition from the early days of The Walking Dead

An important piece of comic book history:

When The Walking Dead was published in 2003, no one could have predicted that this independent black-and-white comic would grow into one of the most successful comic book and television phenomena of modern times.

Issue #2 is an important chapter in the series’ origins and introduces characters who would later play central roles.

Tony Moore’s iconic cover, depicting Rick Grimes on horseback crossing an abandoned landscape, perfectly captures the haunting atmosphere that made the original comic book series so special.

Professionally graded – CGC 8.5 with White Pages

This copy was independently graded by CGC (Certified Guaranty Company) and received a score of 8.5 out of 10 (Very Fine+).

An additional quality feature is the official WHITE PAGES designation, confirming the excellent whiteness of the paper.

The comic is housed in its original, professionally sealed CGC holder. This protects the copy and makes it especially suitable for display in a high-quality collection.

The photographs form an integral part of the description.

Why this edition is particularly interesting to collectors:

Although The Walking Dead #1 is widely known as the beginning of the legendary series, issue #2 is also an important collectible thanks to its very limited original print run.

The combination of early character appearances, Tony Moore’s distinctive art style, the low print run, and professional CGC certification makes this first printing particularly appealing.

Original first printings from The Walking Dead’s earliest publication period are an important part of modern comic book history.
