Tony Moore sues Robert Kirkman over ‘Walking Dead’ proceeds
Robert Kirkman’s longtime collaborator and childhood friend Tony Moore is suing “The Walking Dead” co-creator over the proceeds for the wildly successful zombie property. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moore filed suit today, claiming he was duped into signing his interest in “The Walking Dead” over to Kirkman in 2005. Moore co-created and launched “The Walking Dead” comic at Image Comics with Robert Kirkman in 2003, serving as ongoing artist from issues #1-6 before current artist Charlie Adlard took over. Moore provided cover art for “The Walking Dead” until issue #24 and also collaborated with Kirkman on “Battle Pope” and “Brit.”

Kirkman’s lawer Allen Grodzky called the lawsuit “totally frivolous,” further stating, “Mr. Moore is owed no money at all. And Mr. Moore’s contract has an attorneys’ fees clause in it so we will be going after him to collect attorneys’ fees. We are taking this matter very seriously.”
GODDAMMIT COMICS
Let’s all please stop screwing each other over and just make comics.
Wow the vindictive lawyer and all.
ARGH. Can we NOT have any more outlandish legal whining from people who should know better, at least for the rest of the...
SERIOUSLY, STOP ACTING LIKE BABIES.
