Charlie Adlard @ Shrewsbury Comic Con 2024 draws Carol Peletier from the Walking Dead

One of the headlining guests at Shrewsbury Comic Con was comic artist Charlie Adlard. Known for his work on 2000ad (Rebellion), The X-Files (Topps) and the original Walking Dead comic (Image). We at Blast Process first encountered his work whilst he was illustrating the original X-Files comic.

Indeed Neil has an X-Files ashcan comic with a Mars Attack Martian on it courtesy of Mr Adlard during an appearance at Nostalgia & Comics. He was even the second Comic Laureate (2017 -2019) and during the handover to Hannah Berry (2019 - 2021) he did a a series of sketches for Neil at the Cartoon Museum in 2019.    • Charlie Adlard @ The Cartoon Museum D...
