Kirkman is such an inspiration.

[@C.B.Smallwood]

I'm working on my own comic and its always cool to listen to someones success story. I can relate to the comic store bit because if it wasn't for gas stations, grocery stores, and Wal-Mart, I would not have had access to comics and probably wouldn't be attempting to draw my own comic now.

Aasim Baksh XD I LOVE YOU NO HOMO

[@islandgirlruby2750]

C.B Smallwood good luck

[@mancavetheater1240]

Do you adapt solicited material for a price or know of any that do?

[@tawandasvovera5299]

Where can we get your comic

[@xdaisyfallsx1678]

Just subbed

[@carluyabut2824]

It's incredible how much Robert has achieved with his comic book career in what seems like a small amount of time

[@gabbar51ngh]

His comics are very good that's why

[@mck7646]

@@gabbar51ngh what do you recommend most from him?

[@patrickimperial579]

@@mck7646 The Walking Dead and Invincible. Those are his babies.

[@tritonlockjaw284]

John Hamm Oblivion Song is incredible as well.

[@zebontheweb]

More like, Invincible, heh

[@aggressionalistprod]

If I am being honest, though he is a great comic creator... he was like us... he collected comics and was geeky like us... think abt that. This shows that everyone can be a Robert Kirkman

[@allieboy181]

But that’s not true. Most people will never get their comic published. 😊

[@thandoenochbhehhe902]

This inspired to create my own comic empire, Kirkman is a real inspiration

[@KTF0]

Does this interviewer guy has his own podcast? I bet it would be awesome

[@ezzong]

He sure seems like an interesting guy

[@tylerfarrow290]

“I was very young, it was about 1920”

[@craftgirl4ever769]

Robert Kirkman should made Walking Dead into Cartoon Series

[@zebontheweb]

My first comic buying experience was in the brink of the 90s, I was probably 10 or 11... Groo by Sergio Aragones (mad magazine)... and Lobo, the killer you hate to love, and Dragon. Kirkman Rules.

[@wegotissues5486]

I was in Iraq war in 2003 and missed out on invincible and I still don't own it 😥

[@dyl7194]

So refreshing to watch. Makes me feel hopeful

[@fortnitekiddy1315]

This is so funny! True love for comics!

[@rebelmornings8543]

Coolest guy in comics such a great soul.

[@49ers1975]

yeah when they formed image they where the creator, drawing but they forgot about the writing, the writers. but they were still good reads for me

[@babianpunktse]

What’s the split between artists on say Spawn and McFarlane? Do they get to be co-owners of Spawn or is it more like the Marvel deals?

[@stephenhennessy4220]

They own the property of spawn and twd dead themselves. Image is the publisher but the rights are owned by the creators

[@stevevondoom4140]

if you draw it , they will come... ;)

[@edwardx4979]

More bigger shoulder pads?!? No, no, no...More cow bell!!! Lol 😆
