The city of Cynthiana, KY gave new meaning to the “Grateful Dead” last weekend as they celebrated its most famous former residents – The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and original artist Tony Moore.
As previously reported, the town of just over 6,000 that”s about 30 miles from Lexington held The Walking Dead day on August 6. As part of the festivities that brought out tens of thousands, there was a costume competition, autograph signings from Kirkman and Moore and a TWD trivia contest.
Following are some pictures posted on Twitter showing how the small town transformed into a zombie-filled hellscape.
