I hadn't heard about this until I saw an announcement of the release dates. Apparently Kirkman is doing a 6 part documentary series on the history of comic books. More info on the AMC page here: http://www.amcnetworks.com/press-rel...y-november-13t
from the article:
Now I am intrigued and want to check this out. Maybe we're getting one step closer to my dream TV show-Inside the Comic Book Studio-a series based on James Lipton Inside the Actor's Studio where some to be determined knowledgeable host sits down one-one one for in depth interviews with comic book creators about their process, technique, etc. It's too late to do it with some of the giants like Eisner, Kubert, Kirby, Wrightson, etc. but I'd love to see it done before all of those generations of creators are gone.
