Charlie Adlard is a British comic artist whose long association with writer Robert Kirkman on The Walking Dead (Image Comics, 2004–2019) made him one of the most widely read cartoonists of the twenty-first century. Over more than a decade and nearly two hundred issues, his atmospheric black-and-white inking gave the post-apocalyptic saga its distinctive grave, almost documentary register. Earlier credits include a lengthy run on 2000 AD‘s Savage and the World War I graphic novel White Death.
