What story are those Walking Dead panels supposed to tell?
Because unless it’s a Broke Back kinda thing, I may need some dialogue.

When he first started (to my knowledge) doing Armitage for Judge Dredd the Megazine, I really didn’t like his art. He came off like a second rate Sean Philips wannabe. His work improved dramatically with X-Files though and it’s only improved since. Definitely a good artist – and still a bit reminiscent of Sean Philips.

No mention of Astronauts in Trouble? Or Nobody? Or The Establishment? Or Codeflesh? Or White Death? Or Nikolai Dante? Or Warlock? Or Rock Bottom? Really? I can understand skipping over, say, X-Men: The Hellfire Club or the Green Arrow/Green Lantern crossover that Winick and Raab wrote, but at least throw a nod out to his days as a lynchpin at IDW, man! That said, I had no idea he drew a Mr. Freeze-centric issue of Gotham Knights. I'm gonna have to track that down.

I first saw his work when he was in the X-Files book, and I liked it enough. However, when after a few years I saw his art in Walking Dead I was amazed!! He has evolved a lot, an I like putting him as an example of artist improvent whenever possible. He is really good!

I first saw his work on Topps 1st Mars Attacks mini series years ago. I’ve been a fan ever since. In fact I didn’t really get hip to the Walking Dead until he started drawing it.

I’m still surprised that you didn’t show any pages from Rock Bottom in which Adlard has shown a different style of his usual brand of art.

Not to toot his horn, but Adlard has staying power. Nearly 30 issues of the X-files, almost 50 issues of The Walking Dead.
