 COMICON.com: ADLARD WARLOCK & WALKING DEAD PT 1
ADLARD: Unfortunately - the design for Warlock was down to our cover artist JH Williams - so I really had no influence on the basic design at all, I came onboard after the design had been approved.
ADLARD: Well - since I'm not [yet!] in the enviable position to pick and chose projects - I tend to be in the position where sometimes I take whatever is offered because there's nothing else around at that time.
ADLARD: It feels good to be part of this [albeit small] renaissance of the industry, it is nice to feel a bit more vindicated for what you do than before - though we've got a LONG way to go - especially in the US and UK.

 SAVANT:: Take It Outside Godboy
Produced by Charlie Adlard, best known for his work on ASTRONAUTS IN TROUBLE, it's quite unlike anything that Adlard's produced before and is all but unique in the field of English-language comics.
By opting for this color, Adlard gives every scene a depth that it would normally lack, creating the impression that all these tiny human dramas are playing out in a landscape which dwarfs them and their concerns.
Finally, Adlard and Morrison alike structure the story in such a way that the moments of silence hit at least as hard as everything else.

Charlie Adlard: I'm looking forward to the movie, though more because it's a Bryan Singer film than an X-Men movie.
I hope he brings out exactly what the X-Men are about [which I think has sadly been lost over the years in the comics] - though Joe [Casey] seems to be more on the case regarding the origins of the X-Men and their potential in Children Of The Atom than any other recent X-comic...
Charlie Adlard: Well, I would simplify the universe a hell of a lot and take 'em back to their roots a bit more - more of what they were originally about...

Charlie Adlard's art, as always, is very well done.
Adlard's art has always had a certain gothic look to it (especially when he was drawing X-Files for Topps), so it's nice to see him working on a horror-based book again.
He's able to bring a certain atmosphere to the story, be it running across rooftops in the rain or a collage of newspaper articles pinned up onto a wall.

 COMICON.com: CHARLIE ADLARD PT 2 The Walking Dead
For those of you keeping score, Adlard is penciling two monthlies and a working on a handful of other projects.
ADLARD: It doesn't really affect anything - I almost ALWAYS think in B&W even when colouring stuff myself - the colouring can still work over a heavily rendered piece, it's just got to be a touch more subtle.
I'll admit I was hesitant to see Tony Moore replaced on the Walking Dead but luckily Charlie Adlard has done an awesome job on Walking Dead.

 The Walking Dead Vol. 2: Miles Behind Us (Robert Kirkman , Charlie Adlard)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Adlard's style has a similar look to that of previous artist Tony Moore, but has more of a rough line finished look.
Where Moore's pages and panels had a smoother and more cinematic feel to them, Adlard's actually fits the mood and feel of the story Kirkman is writing.
I love Moore's work and the gory detail he put in the first issues, but Adlard's just seems to resonate abit more with the subject matter of survival and doing what it takes to survive.

 Inlibris Bookstore - The Walking Dead Vol. 3: Safety Behind Bars by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard
Kudos as well to Charlie Adlard, WD's illustrator who took on the unenviable role, in Volume 2, of replacing initial artist Tony Moore.
It is to Adlard's supreme credit that his panels have approached the sumptuous level of detail and shadowplay that characterized Moore's initial efforts, throwing enough visual Crawling Kingsnake creepiness into "Safety Behind Bars" that Adlard deserves the ultimate compliment: he's making me not miss Tony Moore all that much.
The ruined world through which Rick and his companions travel is sick, haunted, blighted and deadly, but Kirkman and Adlard have made it brutally, addictively compelling, being as miserly as they can be with plot-twists and mysteries, while keeping the story's edge sharp enough to keep me coming.

Charlie Adlard speaks with Jonathan Ellis about his dream of DOOM: Year One

On behalf of PopImage I would like to thank Charlie Adlard for sharing this project with us and with you.

 Greg Pak: Warlock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
An artist who shows a range that goes from The Walking Dead to a book like this would seem to hardly exist, but [Charlie] Adlard actually did a wonderful job with the art.
His style - part John Byrne and part Dan Jurgens -- is well suited for a book like this, where the hero isn't some gigantic muscle bound cyborg with a glowing eye.
Instead Adlard is able to focus on the people behind Adam Warlock and his technique adds a much-needed human feel to the book.

The opening sequences are wonderful visual indicators of the personalities that the various team members have, and of course Jon Drake has gotten a great deal of exploration as the leader of the team and interface with the British government.
I'm also quite intrigued by the young girl who seems to be Charlie Arrows's granddaughter, and wondering where that story will go, even if I thought it was a story referring to Jon Drake's granddaughter before I was corrected in email.
Charlie Adlard's artwork is what really makes me sit up and take notice of the book, though.

The whole thing resembles a string of TV cop-show episodes, but few TV shows' visuals are anywhere near as impressive as Adlard's artwork.
Adlard has the high-contrast, deep-focus look of the best films noir down pat, now and then effectively steering the occasional panel, especially in fight scenes, toward almost "unreadable" abstraction.
Adlard's art is excellent as usual, looking like a hyper Guy Davis.

 IGN: Astronauts in Trouble: Master Flight Plan Review
Larry Young and Charlie Adlard (with Matt Smith) have created a true work of science-fact.
Much praise has been aimed at Charlie Adlard for his work on The Walking Dead, but many of those fans have probably never seen his beautiful fl and white work on AIT.
This level of attention, even to the cover, is a testament to the quality that Larry Young, Matt Smith and Charlie Adlard have poured into Astronauts in Trouble: Master Flight Plan.

Questions are left unanswered but done in such a way as to make you look forward to the discovering answers.
I like my horror/noir comics with a good amount of fl space in the art and Charlie Adlard’s work is perfectly suited to the genre.

Adlard has come into his own on this book, providing imaginative designs and stunning visual designs such that even if the story was complete and utter tripe, I'd still be quite pleased with the results.
Pharmacist, Charlie Arrows and Drake could all use some more fleshing out, but the basics of the characters are quite clear at this point.
The designs are sheer joy and madness, such as Pharmacist riding into battle using a helicopter in his wildly-styled hair or the sheer style of a sleek Kheran cruiser battling it out with harrier jets in the air.

 2000 AD Review - 2000 AD 1391 review
The fault may, of course, lie with the reproduction or print quality, but frankly it seems as though Adlard handed in one of those rare covers that actually deserve to be boldly left in the original fl and white, only for Tharg to determine that colour would have to be used anyway.
It's a nice idea to take the very first story from the very first prog and re-do it for another century but right now the whole thing seems to be treading water.
The reason that I'm making the comparison, though, is by way of introducing the fact that in any other prog this would still be the highlight, and it's a compliment to the way the current run is going that it ends up third in my affections.

Adlard got in touch with Morrison who ran with the ball and fleshed out the story you'll see in March.
Adlard approached the art on this book in a completely different way than previously.
After I sent him the scenes in which Francesco Cadorna visits the wounded Alberto Diaz in hospital, Charlie called me up to say he had a tear in his eye after reading them because they were so moving.

It's also bathing in a beautifully rendered noir atmosphere, courtesy of Charlie Adlard of White Death and Astronauts in Trouble fame.
Tie that together with a likeable protagonist (there can never be enough female protagonists in comics), and you've got all the requirements of a classic popcorn movie.

When I was growing up, I used to live about a half an hour or so away from the Neil Armstrong Museum.
Space flight is intrinsically exciting, and that excitement isn't lost in either Matt Smith or Charlie Adlard's work here.
On the other end of the scale, Charlie Adlard brings a very dynamic flavor to the proceedings, putting all of those previously absent stars back into the frame and lending a sense of speed and urgency to the latter half of the book.

 Astronauts in Trouble   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Astronauts in Trouble, by writer Larry Young and artists Matt Smith and Charlie Adlard, reads like a novel-to-comic story, and I mean that in a good way.
Adlard takes over for the last couple of issues, and does a better job at "fleshing out" the art.
Considering very few comic artists today can do stellar fl-and-white work, however, the effort is highly commendable, as is the project overall.

 Ninth Art - The Friday Review: Nobody
Amado and Cho's script is brought to life by Charlie Adlard's scratchy, tense, monochrome work.
Adlard's work is distinguished both by his skill with characters and his ability to deal with "wide screen" action sequences with aplomb.
Both are amply demonstrated here, with each one of Drake's identities recognisably unique and yet also recognisably her.

 Portland Mercury - Books - The Walking Dead
The human characters of The Walking Dead are concerned only with the necessities: Where to sleep, what to eat, whether a handgun is more effective than a hammer when destroying zombies' heads.
It's a stark and unrelenting world--a feeling helped by Tony Moore, Charlie Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn's bleak, emotive fl and white artwork.
By creating an utterly believable world inspired in large part by Romero's classic films, Kirkman has transcended zombie films' limitations--gone are the lame explanations about how zombies came to exist, the perfunctory action beats, the predictable deaths.

Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead will launch its second story arc in April with veteran artist Charlie Adlard (X-Files, White Death, Astronauts In Trouble) taking the reins from the departing Tony Moore.
When Tony Moore decided to step aside and move on to other projects, series creator Robert Kirkman made a short list of artists he would have liked to see replace Moore.
According to Kirkman, Adlard was at the top of the list from day one.

Billionaires with their own space programs, private spacecraft heading for the Moon, lunar land claims, civilians riding rockets...
Well, yes, as a matter of fact, but they are also the makings of the wild and amazing space adventures created by writer Larry Young and artists Charlie Adlard and Matt Smith in their series of space comic books called Astronauts in Trouble.
Larry Young was both a big comic book and space exploration fan as a kid and when he grew up he managed to fulfill one big childhood dream by going to work in the comic book business as a writer and publisher.

The plot in The Establishment is simple, and there's nothing wrong with a simple plot, but writer Ian Edginton blatantly attempts to disguise the simplicity with an unconvincing barrage of metaphysical rubbish.
Charlie Arrow's soul essentially lies trapped in a "hell dimension" to borrow a phrase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 Comixfan Forums - THE WALKING DEAD #25 REVIEW
The Walking Dead #25 lurks into it's milestone 25th issue, not so much with great aplomb, but with more of the same dialogue-heavy, actionless writing that has characterized the book since Kirkman and Adlard traded their RV for the comfort of a cellblock.
Charlie Adlard once again does a fine job of depicting our living/undead chums.
So there you have it; it's a good, well-drawn slice of TWD action, but it's very much a case of same old, same ol'.

 SpiderFan.org - Comics : Reviews : Peter Parker: Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #29
He actually managed to make this terrible villain somewhat interesting, and even threatening, and Peter's inner monologue on pain as he races to find the bad guy was very moving, in a sad way.
Guest artist Charlie Adlard's work was somewhat hit and miss for me. I found that his work wasn't particularly strong on the faces of the characters in the story, and that at times, they just looked downright strange (particularly Aunt May).
But on the other hand, I loved his the action scenes, particularly the big one in the park, where his illustration of the power of the nameless villain made him seem truly dangerous.
