'Walking Dead' #100 gets second printing

Walking Dead #100 has been given a second printing by popular demand.

The milestone issue sold out of its record-setting initial run of 383,612 copies, and will return to sale with a new cover design by series artist Charlie Adlard.



Written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Adlard, the landmark issue's sales record saw it become the most popular comic since 1997's The Darkness #11.

"The Walking Dead continues to greatly exceed all my expectations in all forms," said Kirkman. "I am especially excited for what this means for comics as an industry, that this is an independent comic hitting that number.

"The future of comics couldn't be brighter as more and more readers are embracing new ideas in a big way."

The Walking Dead #100 was released on July 11. The second printing is available to order now.
