The Walking Dead has become a pop culture phenomenon. Maybe we're all sensing the end and need to find an exciting spin to put on it, or maybe the storytelling is just THAT addictive. Charlie Adlard, the man behind the artwork for 15 years of the comic's existence joins me at the Lake District Comic Art Festival 2018 to share his story from mesmerised childhood comic fan, to turning the words of Robert Kirkman into hard hitting, dynamic illustrative pieces of magic.We discuss the origins of his role on The Walking Dead, his first steps into the comic book industry and how he feels about the TV show and seeing his drawing come to life in such blockbuster fashion at AMC.The fantastic music on this week's show is courtesy of Dirty Freud, 'Jumping at Shadows' ft.
