The Walking Dead Planning Spanish-Language Editions

For the first time in its publishing history, Skybound's The Walking Dead will be released as a Spanish-language edition available in the U.S. publishing market beginning later this year. A Spanish version of The Walking Dead Volume One: Days Gone Bye by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore will be available in the U.S. for the first time in September, with future installments to be released quarterly.

The first volume of The Walking Deadcollects the first six issues of the series, which will reach its 116th issue in September. The Spanish language edition of DAYS GONE BYE (DÍAS PASADOS) will be available for pre-order in July. Subsequent translated editions of The Walking Dead will be published quarterly.

"We're excited to bring The Walking Dead to the Spanish-speaking market in the United States," said Skybound's Director of Business Development Shawn Kirkham. "Our hope is that The Walking Dead in Spanish will help develop a new fan base in this emerging market for comic books."
