AMC Eyes 'History of Comic Books' With New Robert Kirkman Series

The network has officially commissioned a new History of Comic Books docu-series exploring the medium’s very origins into 2017.

Per the network’s official word, documentary series Heroes and Villains: The History of Comic Books (it’s a working title) will arrive in 2017, as executive produced by Walking Dead bosses Robert Kirkman and David Alpert through Skybound Entertainment.

AMC’s love of comic book culture has spread like wildfire in recent years, from two Walking Dead series to Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men to Preacher, and now Dead creator Robert Kirkman will fan the flames.
