"Robert Kirkman (b. 1978) is probably best known as the creator of The Walking Dead.
The comic book and its television adaptation have reinvented the zombie horror story,
transforming it from cult curiosity and parody to mainstream popularity and critical
acclaim. In some ways, this would be enough to justify this career-spanning collection
of interviews. Yet Kirkman represents much more than this single comic book title.
Kirkman's story is a fanboy's dream that begins with him financing his irreverent,
independent comic book Battle Pope with credit cards. After writing major titles with
Marvel comics (Spider-Man, Captain America, and X-Men), Kirkman rejected companies
like DC and Marvel and publicly advocated for creator ownership as the future of the
comics industry. As a partner at Image, Kirkman wrote not only The Walking Dead but
also Invincible, a radical reinvention of the superhero genre. Robert Kirkman: Conversations
gives insight to his journey and explores technique, creativity, collaboration, and
the business of comics as a multimedia phenomenon. For instance, while continuing
to write genre-based comics in titles like Outcast and Oblivion Song, Kirkman explains
his writerly bias for complex characters over traditional plot development. As a fan-turned-creator,
Kirkman reveals a creator's complex relationship with fans in a comic-con era that
breaks down the consumer/producer dichotomy. And after rejecting company-ownership
practices, Kirkman articulates a vision of the creator-ownership model and his goal
of organic creativity at Skybound, his multimedia company. While Stan Lee was the
most prominent comic book everyman of the previous era of comics production, Kirkman
is the most prominent comic book everyman of this dynamic, evolving new era"
