‘Walking Dead’s’ Robert Kirkman Sued By Illustrator
Robert Kirkman, the famed comic book writer who helped create AMC’s hit zombie series “The Walking Dead,” has been sued by a childhood friend and collaborator who claims he is entitled to as much as half of the proceeds from the lucrative franchise. Michael Anthony Moore, a fellow comic book artist, filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court. In the complaint, Moore says he was duped into assigning his interest in the material over to Kirkman. Moore has received very little compensation and has not been able to access profit statements from properties including “Walking Dead,” he says. Kirkman and Moore were apparently good friends and collaborators for many years before Kirkman became a big-time name as a creator and writer of “The Walking Dead.” Kirkman calls the allegations “ridiculous.”
