Wizard World Comic Con Indianapolis Attendees to Receive "The Walking Dead #1" Limited Edition Exclusive Variant Cover by Michael Golden, February 13-15

Indianapolis, IN, February 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) and Skybound, Robert Kirkman's imprint at Image Comics, today announced that “Rogue” co-creator Michael Golden has drawn the fourth in a yearlong series of Limited Edition Exclusive Variant Covers of The Walking Dead #1 comic, to be provided free to all full-price attendees at the inaugural Wizard World Comic Con Indianapolis, February 6-8. Skybound’s The Walking Dead created by Kirkman, the groundbreaking, Eisner Award winning comic book series, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

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

A hugely popular Wizard World guest, Golden has penciled everything from Batman to Captain America to Vampirella. If a fan brings up a character, Golden has probably worked on it at some point in his career. And his 'Storytelling' panel is not to be missed by aspiring artists, or those who just want a little more insight into this iconic artist's work.

“Michael has been a fixture at Wizard World Comic Cons as one of our most prominent artists," says John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO. “This cover reflects the amazing, colorful art that has been his trademark.”

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 wildly popular with fans. The full schedule of 2015 Wizard World shows is available at www.wizd.me/PRSchedule2015.
