Robert Kirkman

Robert Kirkman is an American comic-book writer, screenwriter, producer and media executive, born November 30, 1978, in Lexington, Kentucky. He became widely known through creator-owned comics, especially The Walking Dead and Invincible, and Image Comics identifies him as its chief operating officer and chairman of Skybound Entertainment. Kirkman's screen work is closely tied to adaptations of those comics: TMDb credits him as an executive producer and writer on The Walking Dead, an executive producer and writer/"comic book" source on INVINCIBLE, and an executive producer on Fear the Walking Dead, Outcast, The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Tales of the Walking Dead. In film, his listed credits include producer and screen-story credit on the 2023 horror-comedy Renfield, producer on Air, and writer on The Robot Chicken Walking Dead Special: Look Who's Walking. He has also appeared as himself on documentary and talk programs including Talking Dead, Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics and So Much Damage: How Image Comics Changed the World. His career is defined by moving comic properties into television, animation, games and film while keeping creator-owned comics central to his public profile.
