The Walking Dead Print Appraisal

The Walking Dead Comic Book Issue #98 "Something to Fear part two"

The item is a single issue comic book, specifically "The Walking Dead" issue number 98 subtitled "Something to Fear part two". The cover art features a character, likely Negan based on his iconic axe, wielding an axe with a blood-splattered blade. The character is depicted wearing a dark head covering and a reddish-brown, somewhat tattered shirt. The logo for "The Walking Dead" is prominently displayed at the top, with the issue number "98" and original price "$2.99" indicated in the upper left corner, along with the "Image Comics" logo. The subtitle "SOMETHING TO FEAR" in large, distressed reddish-orange lettering covers the lower half of the cover, with "part two" in smaller text beneath. The creators' names, "KIRKMAN ADLARD RATHBURN", are visible along the bottom edge. There is a visible signature or marking below the axe handle on the right side, potentially indicating a signature or limited edition numbering, appearing somewhat smudged but suggesting "Chu Dan 112" or similar. The comic appears to be in a protective plastic sleeve, which covers the entire front, and there may be slight surface wear to the sleeve itself, but the condition of the comic beneath is difficult to fully assess from the image; however, it appears to be relatively flat with minimal creasing visible on the front cover. The overall aesthetic is dark and gritty, aligning with the horror genre of the series.
