The Walking Dead #182 (Image Comics 2018) Bill Sienkiewicz "Maggie" Variant

The Walking Dead #182 combines a Bill Sienkiewicz “Maggie” variant cover with the original black-and-white interior illustrated by Charlie Adlard, Stefano Gaudiano, and Cliff Rathburn. This edition delivers the complete narrative alongside specialized cover artwork that distinguishes the copy within physical storage systems.

The chapter tracks John, the recently appointed temporary leader of the Saviors, as he pushes for an alliance with The Commonwealth. Writer Robert Kirkman outlines the faction’s diplomatic shift while Adlard’s inking maintains consistent scene transitions across the 28-page spread. The publication carries an M rating and sustains the expected grayscale presentation throughout.

Issued by Image Comics in 2018, this standard-issue comic retains the franchise’s established page count and mature audience classification. Buyers targeting this specific release often select the Sienkiewicz variant to secure alternate visual representation, since the front matter highlights a solo character study rather than multi-figure action layouts. Pairing this variant with sequential orders guarantees access to both the core script and distinct illustrative assets without duplicate interior reprints.
