The Walking Dead #171

The cover of The Walking Dead #171 says it all with its title, "Fear the Princess" — a wild-haired woman in a vivid pink fur coat, tinted goggles, and knee pads stands her ground against an overgrown landscape, submachine gun in hand and attitude to spare. It's the kind of arresting character portrait that Charlie Adlard does so well, conveying both eccentricity and genuine menace in a single stance. Kirkman, Adlard, Gaudiano, and Rathburn bring their A-game to this 2017 Skybound/Image entry in the long-running series.
