Comic Book Resources printed the transcript of our Under the Comic Covers interview with Charlie Adlard, if you missed it.

Check out the link below!

 

 

"The Walking Dead" artist Charlie Adlard was recently a guest on the Under the Comic Covers podcast, and the most famous zombie artist in the industry took listeners on a journey through his career, from the time he accepted Robert Kirkman's invitation to illustrate the series over 100 issues ago to now.

 

 

 

Adlard reveals his thoughts on being inked by Stefano Gaudiano throughout the "All Out War" storyline and beyond, provides an update on his and Kirkman's sci-fi original graphic novel "The Passenger" and discusses the sometimes unsettling nature of the reference material required to do his job properly. Adlard also heads back to his childhood to reminisce about where his love of comics originated in the first place, before flashing into the future with his guess as to the final fates of characters Rick Grimes and Negan.

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

"OK, this absolutely leads into another question I had -- I heard in a previous interview that you were not originally crazy about the choice of David Morrissey for the Governor in the TV show and how he was depicted. I'm very curious how you feel about the almost exact depiction of the cover of Issue #53 shown on the show recently, with Abraham, Eugene and Rosita lined up there."

"Yes, it's almost as though in the last three episodes they've completely gone to the comic and thought, "Oh! There's a lot of good stuff here!"

lol

Haha! :D

 

 

I think my favorite quote was... "Yeah, again, it's interesting Nicholas and Eugene are characters that I'm trying to slightly get away from their original look. Eugene was just a weird one; I don't know what I was thinking when I designed him."

 

:P
