While creating a comic book empire, Robert Kirkman mastered the art of writing long.

His sagas rarely wrap up quickly. In 2003, he began crafting the series that would take him on a path straight to Hollywood: “The Walking Dead,” a zombie apocalyptic adventure that ran for 193 issues, published its final issue in 2019, after it had become a television phenomenon at AMC.
