David Alpert is the co-founder and CEO of Skybound, the home of “The Walking Dead” and many other titles including “Invincible.” He built the company with legendary comic book creator Robert Kirkman, who began TWD comic series 21 years ago.

  • Over 330 episodes across 7 live-action TV series
  • Most watched serialized show on Netflix with 1.3 billion viewing hours
  • $1 billion in revenue from gaming alone
