The Walking Dead Chronicles: The Official Companion Book is the only
authorized, behind-the-scenes guide to Season One of the white-hot new
AMC television series, The Walking Dead, which tells the story of a
sheriff's deputy leading a band of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world
overrun by the undead.
Focusing on the making of the first season of the Golden Globe-nominated
TV show, as well as the creation of the New York Times bestselling
comic book on which the series is based, The Walking Dead Chronicles
is lavishly illustrated with never-before-seen unit photography,
storyboards, set designs, makeup and visual effects shots, and
page-to-screen comparisons of the comic and TV show. Featuring new
interviews with series creator Robert Kirkman and executive producer
Frank Darabont, as well as the cast and crew, the book also includes
sidebars that serve as a detailed episode guide, reproducing excerpts
from early drafts and final scripts, and revealing new directions for
the second season and beyond.
Praise for the Walking Dead Chronicles:
"Paul Ruditis provides an interesting and insightful look at both the
comic book and TV series. . . . The text is filled with thoughtful
commentary from the cast and crew, as well as an eye-catching assortment
of production photos, set designs, storyboards, special-effects images,
and reproductions of comic book artwork." --School Library Journal
