Robert Kirkman (born November 30, 1978) is an American comic book writer and the co-founder of Skybound Entertainment. He is best known for co-creating and writing the post-apocalyptic horror comic book The Walking Dead, also overseeing and taking part in its television adaptations and several spin-offs. Outside The Walking Dead, he has also co-created such titles as Invincible, Tech Jacket (alongside E. J. Su), and Haunt and has worked on Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies. In 2008, he became a partner of Image Comics, the first to join since the publisher's formation.
He was hired by Akiva Goldsman to help develop an upcoming film for the expanding Transformers live-action film series. However, he only attended the writers' conference for the series for one day before having to leave due to health issues that led to him having throat surgery.[1]
He was an attendant at BotCon 2006, where he apparently ate a copy of The Transformers: Infiltration.[2]
Notes
- Prior to Dreamwave Productions acquiring the license, Kirkman had a Transformers pitch that eventually evolved into Tech Jacket.[3]
