Hello folks - my name's Thomas Nickel. I'm a writer for a German pop culture site.

We met Charlie Adlard at this year's Erlangen Comic Salon, which is Germany's biggest comics convention. I never would have guessed though that the interview over dinner which the fine folks at Crosscult, the German publishers of The Walking Dead, had arranged would turn into a three-hour chat spanning the whole of Adlard's career. You can find the interview here.

Hope you enjoy the piece. We've also got another English language interview up - this one is with comics writer Colleen Coover.
