Quotes

"I wanted to do a book that was basically just a zombie movie on paper. It was everything you could do in film, but it was more because the movie didn't end. So that was kind of the draw for me. I could start my comic at the end of most zombie movies and just keep going on from there. I think that's the unique element of it, and it's probably what has led to the Walking Dead's success."—Robert Kirkman¹
