The Private Eye Creators To Write The Walking Dead Story

At Image Expo today, Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan announced that he and artist Marco Martin's hit digital comics series The Private Eye will be coming to print for the first time at Image Comics.

The deal was said to have come after much prodding from Robert Kirkman. In return, Vaughan and Martin have agreed to create a The Walking Dead story that will be distributed through Vaughan and Martin's digital comics website Panel Syndicate.

Until now, Panel Syndicate has operated on a "pay-what-you-want" model, but there was no confirmation of that model applying also to the upcoming The Walking Dead story.

There were also no details given on a release format or date for the print edition of The Private Eye. Vaughan and Martin had previously stated that they had no plans to bring the series – which takes place in a world that no longer has an internet - into print, but it seems Kirkman managed to change their mind.

The Private Eye is still available digitally at Panel Syndicate.
