Robert Kirkman And Tony Moore Settle Over The Walking Dead

Published Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:40:54 -0500

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Walking Dead co-creators Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore have reached an agreement regarding the comic book and TV show, after Moore launched a lawsuit earlier this year.

Moore had quite heatedly stated that Kirkman intentionally deceived him when persuading him to sign a contract transferring rights to Kirkman and that he hadn't received paperwork or payment due to him, stating that "Kirkman is a proud liar and fraudster who freely admits that he has no qualm about misrepresenting material facts in order to consummate business transactions". Kirkman's lawyer responded saying "The lawsuit is ridiculous, we each had legal representation seven years ago and now he is violating the same contract he initiated and approved and he wants to misrepresent the fees he was paid and continues to be paid for the work he was hired to do."

The Hollywood Reporter received the following statement, which is much more conciliatory;

"Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone's mutual satisfaction. Neither side will be discussing any details but will instead happily and productively spend their time focused on their own work and move on in their lives."
