It really is a great time to be a comic book fan, last month we got Fear Agent coming to the movies and this month we get Image comic's The Walking Dead possibly hitting the smaller screen. That's right folks according to Variety Robert Kirkman's zombie soap opera is said to be in development by none other than Frank Darabont. There is still no studio attached but given the popularity of the book and the talent involved finding a home for the show should be a given. It seems Joel Stillerman head of programming at AMC, the production company putting the show together, want's to keep true to the original vision and was attracted by the "quality of writing" on the book.

I've always said the Walking Dead would make a great tv show, low budget, ever changing cast and it's written in a way that the script is pretty much ready to go straight from the comic book. Of course as it was clearly my idea first I'll be expecting a royalty cheque in the post any day now ;)
