‘The Walking Dead’ Graphic Novel Dominating The New York Times Bestseller List!
After every episode of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” I repeat the following to myself: “There’s always the comic book.” While I went from the comic to the series, the show apparently has a huge impact on sales of the trade for those who have never read it. I hope they’re prepared for awesome…
According to THR, Robert Kirkman’s acclaimed zombie series “The Walking Dead” has taken over The New York Times graphic novel bestseller list. The newest edition of the newspaper’s signature sales list will find the “The Walking Dead” holding an unprecedented three of the top four paperback slots and three of the top nine hardcover spots.
On The Times’ hardcover graphic novel list The Walking Dead owns the first, eighth and ninth spots. The Walking Dead: Book 1, which collects the first twelve issues, holds the top spot followed by Book 2 at no. 8 and the newest volume, Book 7, at ninth. On the paperback list, The Walking Dead Compendium, which collects a whopping 48 issues in a volume that clocks in at 1088 pages, is no. 1; Book 1, collecting just issues #1-6 in a softcover volume, is in the second spot and Book 3 is fourth. In addition, Kirkman’s prose novel The Walking Dead: The Rise of the Governor, charting the back story of the series’ most famous villain, is no. 18 on The Times’ bestseller list for all books.

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
