The Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard
Charlie Adlard is a British comic book artist and illustrator best known for his work on The Walking Dead comic. He has worked in the industry for over 25 years, with the majority of that time working on TWD.
Born in Shrewsbury, England, Adlard attended college, set on a career in the film industry. After discovering his degree wouldn’t get him far in that career goal and a failed attempt at being a drummer in a rock band, he set his sights on a third dream, comics. He got his first gig at the Judge Dredd Magazine in 1992 and hasn’t looked back. You can see a fantastic walk through his career via his website.
The Walking Dead comic was first published in 2004, with Adlard joining at issue seven. The series would run for 193 issues, winning An Eisner Award, the comic equivalent to an Oscar, in 2010, the same year the series premiered on AMC. Adlard would serve as one of the walkers who over-take Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in the pilot episode, “Days Gone Bye.”
His website also has a beautiful portfolio of his Walking Dead artistry. Be sure to check it out.
