Robert Kirkman Becomes Image Comics Corporate Partner

Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible) is now officially a corporate partner of Image Comics.

“Image Comics has been a huge part of my life for as long as it’s been in existence,” Kirkman said. “Being inspired by the creation of Image, I’ve entered into my comics career not wanting to write corporate characters as much as I’ve wanted to create my own. Being a partner at Image, having the chance to help run the company as well as continue to contribute strong creator-owned series to its publishing line is more than I’ve ever thought possible for myself. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to sit at the table across from my fellow partners, and steer the direction of comics as a whole.”

According to a press release from Image, the new position will have Kirkman working with Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, and Jim Valentino to restructure and strengthen Image in the coming years.
