A huge lie said the creator of walk

Although the zombie was common throughout the late first decade of the twentieth and 2010 century, she was viewed as playing largely when the comic writer Robert Kirkman was installed. It was the first of the first decade of the twentieth century The pioneer “after 28 days” He was not released in the United States. So, when Kirkman approached the comic publishing company image with an idea for a black and white coma series, it was frequented.

“When I put” The Walking Dead “to Image, Jim Valentino and Eric Stephenson were giving the company, and both felt that” The Walking Dead “as a straight coma book had no enough hook. In the IGN 2007 interview. It may seem absurd after it is too late, but the elevator stadium for “The Walking Dead” is already a kind of basis: it is a standard story about a group of survivors at the end of the world from a coma, with the main thing that distinguishes it from its longevity. “The Walking Dead” is thrived because it allows his characters to develop slowly over the years, but this feature does not immediately emerge in the first issue of the comic stories.

Kirkman’s solution to this problem was to do a little of what he called “a kind of nonsense” with publishers. Tell them that “The Walking Dead” will not be just a coma story, but it narrated a coma against foreigners. As he explained:

“I did some books with them, so I felt comfortable doing this – I just lied to them and said:” Look well, so it would be the case: the entire book will be as if you were putting it, but with the progress of issues, in the end I will reveal this with regard to the credit for that, it was for braids. The military forces of humans, and in the end this great foreign invasion will be. And so they said, “Oh, this looks sweet! Thus they agreed to the book based on that.

It didn’t take a long time until the publishers realize that Kirkman was lied to them, but by that stage they no longer cared. Kirkman recalled that the publisher Eric Stephenson has finished reading the first issue after its release; He said he liked it, but he did not notice any hints that foreigners were responsible for the outbreak of the disease. Then Kirkman reminds Stephenson, “Well, I must be honest with you … things will not happen. I was not dealing with Zombie’s book straight.”

“At this stage, the book was well received and there was a lot of tune,” Kirkman continued. “So, Eric wrote something like,” well, this is good, because I was reading somewhat thinking about the book, “Oh may destroy this by putting foreigners in it.” “

Kirkman indicated that the other publisher, who agreed to, Jim Valentino, was “not very pleased” to know the deception. Kirkman said that he felt a little guilty in telling this story to reporters because Valentino was a positive force behind his work. “Invisible”, another long -term comic chain By Kirkman that “The Walking Dead” Since then, I have enjoyed popular TV adaptation. Valentino is a person who had a lot of respect.

Kirkman admitted: “I feel bad in telling that story because, as I said, it hurts Jim.”

He also noticed that people seem to love to hear this story, probably for the same reasons that people like to hear about how the first book “Harry Potter” was rejected by 12 young people. It helps in giving the author a fun narrative, and contributes to the comfortable idea that people who reject us do not know what they are talking about. But Kirkman explained, the publishers’ concerns about the “Walking Dead” were reasonable. Foreigners in this mix was terrible, and we all agree today, but in the early first decade of the twentieth century it was not clear at all.
