Brian K Vaughan and Marcos Martin’s The Walking Dead Spinoff Story to be released in Hardcover
Earlier today, Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment announced that the popular Panel Syndicate story The Walking Dead: The Alien by Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin—which spins out of bestselling phenomenon The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard—will be available in oversized hardcover this July.
This stunning hardcover features a story firmly set in The Walking Dead comic book continuity by Vaughan (Saga) and Martin (The Private Eye, Barrier) and includes never-before-seen designs, sketches and layouts.
Walking Dead Creator Robert Kirkman had the following to comment about this release:
“I couldn’t be a bigger fan of Vaughan and Martin’s work. I’ve been very hesitant to allow anyone to play in the Walking Dead sandbox in comic form but when the opportunity arose for these gents to show up what Charlie Adlard and I had been doing, I jumped at the chance.
“It’s remarkable what Vaughan and Martin were able to accomplish in one self-contained story. A tale with so much heart and emotion told far more succinctly than I’ve ever been capable of. I’m so thrilled to finally be sharing this story with a wider audience in this spectacular hardcover edition.”
Originally released in digital format on Panel Syndicate and printed as an oversized single issue exclusively and in limited quantity for Local Comic Shop Day, this The Walking Dead: The Alien story will be available widely and in hardcover for the first time ever.
