Tony Moore

Walking Dead artist.  A tv series exists because of his comic work of the same name.  Really good for layout and composition.  Will Eisner award winner 2004 & 2005



Another artist, Charlie Adlard worked on walking dead series as well.  In fact did most of it.  Tony Moore did only the first few books or so.  However, Adler's work isn't as cinematic as Moore's.  The shots taken straight out of the comics for the series are from Moore's work.

On the left is Adlard's work, on the  right is one of Moore's.  Notice that because Moore uses a hierarchy of line, value and contrast absent in Adlard's work, his panel has a more cinematic sense of depth and realism.  Adlard is very comic booky and more abstract and flat in that sense.  Not that he can't draw, Adlard just doesn't have Moore's finesse.
