According to distributors COMAG: “Based on the successful TV show (which itself is based on a popular comic book series), The Walking Dead has become a worldwide phenomenon and multi-award winning programme.
Taking place in and around Atlanta, Georgia, The Walking Dead centres around sheriff’s deputy, Rick Grimes, who has woken from a coma to find the world dominated by zombies, called ‘walkers’. Along with his family, Grimes and a band of survivors are trying to find a safe haven where they can live without fear of attack from the walking dead or other predators.
Well-received by audiences and critics alike, the show is a hit around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Consistently breaking cable TV viewing figures, the season three premiere of The Walking Dead was watched by almost 11 million viewers in the U.S. recently.
Launched to coincide with the British premiere of the third series on the FX TV channel, The Walking Dead magazine is a fully-licensed and timely addition for UK fans of the hit show.
Looking back at previous episodes as well as the third season, The Walking Dead will take readers behind the scenes; exploring the world of the show, the characters and the ‘walkers’.
Every issue of 100-page The Walking Dead will have exclusive interviews with people involved in the show. From creator, Robert Kirkman, to producers, writers, directors, cast and crew, each edition will provide an insight into the TV programme and the process of making it.
In addition to all this, each issue of The Walking Dead will tell the story about the transition from groundbreaking comic book to award-winning TV show, with the latest news about characters, revelations and upcoming plotlines, as well as artwork, posters and competitions.”
