Hello fellow Dead-heads!

I just wanted to give a huge THANK YOU & shout out to my brother and good friend Tom McElroy @BladeTX for his super awesome, impressive, and thoughtful birthday gift he sent me.  It's not everyday you turn 40 (cough, cough...29...cough, cough) and for the amount of planning and prep work that he put in to making this happen (from the custom TWD label, to getting it slabbed as a page, to getting it to me by my birthday...it was truly an impressive and awesome feat).  Tom and I became friends a few years ago when he purchased a book from me on eBay and we've been chatting TWD and comics and everything else in-between ever since!  I'm so happy to have had played a part in his passion/addiction to The Walking Dead and I hope for many more years of convos and hopefully an in-person hangout (if the coronavirus ever ends and cons resume).  So thank you, Tom, for being such an amazing and good friend!  But now I have about 7 months and some change to plan for what I'mma do to make your next trip around the sun a special one, too! :banana:

Thanks for reading, fellow TWD addicts!  Tom ROCKS!

My pleasure, my good friend.  I had crazy fun planning it all out and @Crops068was in on it from the submission back in July.  I felt your TWD legacy needed something more than buried deep inside a slab 😊.  Happy 40th!!!

Looks to be a new sketch TWD Deluxe Variant that Shawn will have exclusive to his CVL sale.  But the question is what issue?

So issue #8 is next week. New CVL hasn't been announced yet.  If they use an upcoming issue it could be #10 (1st Hershel / Maggie), #15 Zombie Shane.  Or could just use some other issue completely like 1st Otis, lol.

It's way too busy at the top to be any Finch covers our now except 9... but the Adams all have those walkers at the top so could be one of those.  I'm stumped!  😂

I saw this in the week in a collected-posts e-mail, and I thought what a thoughtful and generous gift for @Sensei Ryan's birthday. #Respect

Hi Ryan, wishing you a belated happy 29th (or something) birthday. I hope you managed to find something fabulous to do to remember your special day. When I was 40 (which was... cough, cough...) a few years ago, I did a round-the-world trip. I spent my 40th birthday in Tokyo, and flew to Vancouver overnight, where I landed on the morning of my 40th birthday #InternationalDateLine

I thought your "page" present from @BladeTXand @Crops068was just AWESOME!

Best wishes

Stephen
