Incredibly it’s been over a decade since Robert Kirkman first introduced the world to the The Walking Dead, and back then even he didn’t conceive just what a success it would be or how deeply entrenched it would become in popular culture. He thought his little black and white zombie book might last half a dozen issues or so, and even killed off one of the main characters at the end of the first six issue arc.
As we know now, however, The Walking Dead has infiltrated every day culture to such an extent that there have been a slew of novels, clothing, memorabilia and video games, as well as a hugely successful television series on AMC. So successful, in fact, that it has now joined the likes of Cheers, Friends, Breaking Bad and The X-Files in spawning its own spin off series, the somewhat underwhelmingly titled Fear The Walking Dead.
