A behind-the-scenes book
ABRAMS announced today that the company has signed a deal with AMC, the cable television network, and Robert Kirkmanâs Skybound, an imprint of Image Comics, to publish two books based on AMCâs original series The Walking Dead.
The first book will be published to coincide with AMCâs launch of The Walking Dead season two premiering this fall, and is the only authorized behind-the-scenes guide to season one. The book is titled “The Walking Dead Chronicles” and will be edited by Eric Klopfer at ABRAMS.
“The Walking Dead Chronicles” focuses on the making of the first season of AMCâs original television series and the bestselling comic book on which the series is based. There are over 200 photos including never-before-seen unit photography, storyboards, set designs, make-up and visual effects shots, and page-to-screen comparisons of the comic and TV show. The book features new interviews with series creator Robert Kirkman, executive producer Frank Darabont, the series make-up artist, Greg Nicotero, and the cast and crew. It also includes sidebars that serve as a detailed episode guide and provide inside facts and trivia about the hit series.
ABRAMS will promote The Walking Dead Chronicles at San Diego Comic-Con this week. ABRAMSâs booth number is 1216. AMCâs booth number is 3721.
