The Walking Dead #1 Jerome Opena Variant For Wizard World Nashville Comic Con Revealed

Wizard World and Skybound Entertainment announced today that Eisner Award winner Jerome Opeña will provide the 18th in a year-long series of Limited Edition Exclusive Variant Covers of The Walking Dead #1 comic, to be provided free to all full-price attendees at Wizard World Comic Con Nashville, September 25-27.

The exclusive The Walking Dead #1 edition will be produced in extremely limited quantities and is available at registration to fans at the Music City Center only while supplies last. VIP attendees will receive an additional black & white sketch version of the comic

Best known for his frequent collaborations with writer Rick Remender, Opeña also has teamed with Jonathan Hickman on The Avengers and was one of the artists on Marvel's best-selling Infinity series.

Opeña's latest project was the Avengers: Rage of Ultron, which is a graphic novel by writer Rick Remender. The graphic novel was released in May of 2015.

The artists for future books will be announced as they are selected. A similar series in 2013 featuring exclusives of The Walking Dead #1 proved to be popular enough with the fans to bring it back.
