Danny Miller's "Zombie of The Walking Dead" Print Sets

I was one of the many who first discovered The Walking Dead when it only came in the form of ink on paper. Like many of my fellow comic nerds, I loved The Walking Dead because there wasn't really any black and white storytelling, everything was told in shades of grey; it felt organic and real (or as real as a story about a zombie apocalypse can feel, that is). Once the story made the transition to television, the first thing that struck me (and many others like me) was just how impressive the oozing, putrid, stumbling zombies looked in 1080p. They were both gross and beautiful in a way that any horror aficionado can appreciate. And much of that can be attributed to the work of Greg Nicotero and his KNB EFX Group. For those unfamiliar with the man, Greg has worked on films like Evil Dead 2, Misery, Army of Darkness, Pulp Fiction, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, In the Mouth of Madness, Mulholland Dr. and many, many, many more. Long story short, Greg reached out to artist Danny Miller and had him create some prints in honor of the many wonderful undead featured in The Walking Dead television series.

Just by looking at the images above you can tell that Danny was the perfect guy for this job. His ability to recreate the fully realized and absolutely terrifying visages of dilapidated flesh is, well, terrifying. But I think the highest compliment that can be paid to artwork like this, besides saying it's wonderfully executed, which it is, is to mention how much my skin is crawling. And yes, these prints make my skin crawl, especially the bloated husk of a zombie on the left (yum). Out of the two sets, I appreciate the regular version a bit more, due to it being more colorful, but I'm guessing the variant is going to be a stunning metallic silver, so it's bound to look pretty sharp in person. I know there are already a ton of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead prints and posters floating around on the Internet, but I'm thinking it's completely okay for Miller to work on whatever zombie-related franchise he wants to try his hand at based on his Walking Dead work, don't you think?
