Charles "Charlie" Adlard is a British comic book artist and penciller who is best known for his work on The Walking Dead and Savage. He portrayed the Atlanta Walker in the TV Series.
Charlie began his work in the United Kingdom on White Death with Robbie Morrison. His other works included 2000 AD, Judge Dredd, and Armitage, and eventually Savage. In the United States, he is best known for The X-Files, Astonauts in Trouble, and The Walking Dead (which he is currently the regular penciller for).
Other comic works include Mars Attacks!, The Hellfire Club, Warlock, Batman: Gotham Knights, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, White Death, Blair Witch: Dark Testaments, Codeflesh, Shadowman, and The Establishment, to name a few.
Adlard's style has evolved from what was originally fully painted artwork on Armitage, through increasing confidence as a monochrome artist, to his recent work, which uses large blocks of black ink on the page to create shadow effects much more bold than are commonly seen in comics art.
In 1992, he collaborated with best-selling horror writer Guy N. Smith on Crabs' Fury. He won the Squiddy Award for Best Inker in 2001. He also illustrated the graphic novel Playing the Game, written by Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing.
Comics work includes:
•Judge Dredd:
•"The Hand of Fate" (with Alan Grant, in Judge Dredd Megazine vol.1 #18, 1992)
•"Gulag" (with Gordon Rennie, in 2000 AD #1382-1386, 2004)
•Warheads: Black Dawn (pencils, with writer Craig Huston and inks by James Hodgkins, 2-issue mini-series, Marvel UK, 1992)
•Armitage (with Dave Stone):
•Robert Kirkman has praised Adlard on numerous occasions for his work:
•"My dream artist is Charlie Adlard... When it came time to replace Tony I looked at a few artists before I settled on Charlie simply because I didn't think Charlie would do it. Just to be sure, I offered him the gig and was shocked when he accepted."
•"Charlie's art is much more gritty and dark than Tony Moore's; I think it's a much better fit for what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go with the book."
•Issue 106 marked the 100th issue of The Walking Dead illustrated by Charlie Adlard. A special variant cover was released to commemorate the occasion. The cover was similar to the cover of Issue 1, but rather than featuring Rick, it featured Charlie himself with some personal items of his including his drum kit, Star Wars LEGO, and a car.
•In "Days Gone Bye" he appeared as one of the Walkers that swarmed Rick in Atlanta.
•Adlard confirmed several things about the characters within The Walking Dead:
Nov 18, 2022 · In The Walking Dead Deluxe #51 by Robert Kirkland, a CBR interview with series artist Charlie Adlard is included within the pages as a bonus feature for fans. One of the most interesting details is how he characterizes The Walking Dead in terms of his story. To Adlard, The Walking Dead " isn't a zombie comic " but rather a " character book ."
In the United States he is best known for his work on The X-Files (for Topps), Astronauts in Trouble (for AiT/Planet Lar) and The Walking Dead (for Image Comics). He has been the penciller on The Walking Dead since 2004. Other work includes: Mars Attacks!
