1. Black and white or color? and which would you prefer?

Honestly, color. I want it to look like a slick, modern TV show. I don't want to give anyone an excuse not to watch it. The massive TV audience, wouldn't be receptive to black and white, I don't think. That said, I think there might be some interesting things done with the DVD s. We'll see.

2. Any actors in mind yet? (rumor has it ed neil AL BUNDY from married with children fame might be playing dale?)

I'd kill to have Ed O'Neil play Dale... but he's on Modern Family and couldn't commit to a second show, I'm sure. Casting announcements will probably start soon... so keep an ear to the ground. I wish I could give something away here but I just can't.

3. Do you know when this will hit the airwaves and the time slot they are shooting for?

AMC will make that announcement when they're ready. I don't think they'd be too happy with me spilling the beans. Also, it's still only a pilot right now, but everything looks really good for this project so far... so we'll see.

4. Will Charlie or Tony have any input on the set as far as design goes?

Aside from what's laid out in the comic, probably not. The both have full time jobs in comics and On top of that, the added exposure will make it that much more likely for the comic to be a continued success for many years to come, so that excites me almost more than anything else. TV work is often much more than a full-time job.

5. How excited are you really about having your creations come to life?

Extremely excited. AMC is the perfect home for this and if it makes it to series I see great things on the horizon for all involved. They get what makes the comic special and are adamant that the show follows the same tone, and Darabont is Frank Darabont for Christ's sake, so we know it's in the best possible hands. I have no doubt in my mind that this show will be GREAT.

These are questions that are being asked from members of the fan club and i put there user name by there question.

Juggalo ninja asks: Was there anything you wanted to write but decided not to because it was to over the top?

Not yet. I've decided not to show certain things... but I've never cut anything entirely.

I had read that you had a different direction planned for Abreham at first. Was he going to be one of the hunters and what was he going to be like?

His original arc may some day crop up, so I can't really reveal anything other than to say that he wasn't going to be around for a while--and then Charlie made him look so cool... I kind of fell in love with the character.

Dave asks: Have you ever considered a rick/Andrea hook up?

They have both suffered considerable loss recently. I don't think either of them are looking to hook up any time soon. As to whether or not I've considered it myself... no comment.

Zig asks: How are the other countries of the world managing in the zombie apocalypse? IE: china or Canada

That is ultimately unimportant to the cast of the book so it's unimportant to me. Maybe Australia is thriving and whatever caused this never got to them... maybe Canada is fine because it's so cold up there in the winter... who knows. We'll never find out unless the characters go there--or someone comes to the characters from there.

Carl grimes asks: Before taking on charlie was there anybody else you considered and if you had to take on another artist who would you have fill charlies big boots?

There were a few names considered along with Charlie but I don't think it would be fair that I name them, most of them were never contacted and may have wanted the gig. At this point I can't imagine anyone but Charlie drawing this book. When I write Walking Dead his art is what I see. Sean Phillips did a pretty great Walking Dead illustration once... but it's hard for me to imagine anyone but Charlie on this book.

The woodbury army asks: Will you ever focus on Rosita? She's been in the book for a while and we haven't learned much about her.

Everyone will get their time. Promise.

Mr zed head 2.0 asks: would you get a zombie tattoo

No tattoos for me, thanks. I don't like them.

Dane 13 asks: 1. Why haven't the survivors run into any properly insane people. There's been the governor, Thomas, and the Hunters, but we have yet to see how the group interacts with a person running around, killing zombies and singing some Boston as they describe the spaceships on the horizon.

All in due time... or maybe those types are easily picked off by zombies? We'll see.

redhollywood asks: if you rub your beard on my beard will it make my beard grow at a exponentially faster rate

Beard on beard contact is akin to crossing the streams of a proton pack, at least when my beard is involved it is. Trust me, you don't want to see what happens!
