Comic Book Resources has a brand-new Robert Kirkman interview up. Kirkman is the writer behind The Walking Dead, one of the few comics I still actively read, along with Conan and Little Lulu. Don’t laugh.

Comic Book Resources - Now, your zombie story has gone on longer than most attempts. What do you feel the trick is to maintaining a story for this long in the zombie genre?

Robert Kirkman - Not stopping after two hours? By design, the zombie story is geared toward longer stories that follow things to its logical conclusion, but it’s just never been done. I mean, think about how different the world would be after ten years. That’s what I’m working toward - reveal how we get there and show all the changes in people and society and civilization.

The Walking Dead is a comic that has actually caught me off guard and made me gasp in surprise with just the turn of a page. The latest trade paperback for The Walking Dead is out, and I plan on picking it up sometime this weekend.
