Starting a month of shows on horror and fantasy comics, Alex Fitch talks to artist Charlie Adlard this week on his radio show Panel Borders, about drawing 100 issues of The Walking Dead.
Alex and Charlie discuss the various storylines the artist has rendered since 2004, coming up with new character designs for humans and zombies alike, how the TV shows compliments and diverges from the original comic, and drawing variant covers for the title to help support his local comic book shop.
Recorded in front of a live audience at Infinity and Beyond Comics, Shrewsbury in Autumn 2012, the interview will be broadcast at Thursday 10th October on Resonance 104.4 FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com / extended podcast at www.panelborders.wordpress.com
