With the imminent premiere of the much-anticipated zombie TV series, The Walking Dead, shambling ever closer (Halloween), one fan of the show has produced a title sequence that’s going to be hard to beat.
Daniel Kanemoto utilises artwork taken from the brilliant Robert Kirkman comic series of the same name (artists: Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard). With a scenario that snips off from George A. Romero’s iconic Living Dead films, The Walking Dead follows the day-to-day struggle to survive of a mixed group of people after the zombie apocalypse destroys Civilisation As We Know It.
If the show hasn’t finalised its official title sequence yet, they should give Kanemoto a call.
