In-between the lively conversation the revelation about being a drummer in an independent band called “Cosmic Rays” to the interesting trivia that he made a cameo appearance in the pilot episode as a ‘vip’ zombie. Charlie also answered some questions from the audience who were there as early as past 8:30 AM to get a numbered slot for them to have their books signed.
Charlie Adlard signed for almost five hours with one break after Imagine Nation Studios’ Milchy Pe and Lawrence Aliwalas came to give Charlie a zombie bust, which was made in less than 24 hours. Mr. Adlard was quite ecstatic who made zombie sketches and signed graphic novels, compendiums and single issue comic books.
