Charlie Adlard, artist on The Walking Dead and  and co-creator of many of the major characters that have been used in AMC’s hit TV show of the same name was at Waterstones in Tottenham Court Road, London on Monday, in a Q and A interview hosted by Jonathan Ross.

He spoke about working on a major comic series, collaborating with Robert Kirkman and more. Here’s the audio from that talk courtesy of  Tripwire editor-in-chief Joel Meadows, who has kindly let us share one of his photographs from the event.
