The Walking Dead 100 Project

The Ken Lashley cover is my favorite from the Heroes Initiative Walking Dead 100 Project.

The Heroes Initiative is an organization that…

…creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit more than 50 creators and their families with over $950,000 worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

One of the cool fundraising ideas that the Heroes Initiative came up with was the Walking Dead 100 Project.  Heroes Initiative in collaboration with Image Comics got over 100 artists to create an original Walking Dead cover on specially printed blank Walking Dead #100 covers.  The original art was then auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Hero Initiative.  In additional the 100+ pieces were collected in special edition hard and trade paperback books again with the proceeds going to support the Hero Initiative.

You can see all 100+ pieces of Walking Dead art here.  The Walking Dead 100 Project books are sold out but you can see a larger version of Ken Lashley’s cover here.
