Think of the Marvel 616... I believe kirkman has created a world that he can write in for the next 20 plus years..... there are so many things he can and will do.... The cure, new order, treasure hunting, side stories, other parts of the world? He has just filled one tiny portion of this world and that took ten years ! Just an opinion, Prices will fluctuate for sure but is this near the end or something we are going to see for 20 plus years? If these assumptions are correct then I would say #1-50 are still very undervalued..
I am in no way saying this is the same as the 616 but if you think about this world in those terms it seems like Mr Kirkman has a long way to go?
I do believe that $1000.00 plus for a 10 year old book is a little crazy but people are buying !

How long could you keep the comic book going?
I'm doing the math on this. I'm 34 years old. By the time I'm 65, I might actually get pretty far. If I don't get bored and people are still enjoying the story, I can do 1,000 issues of The Walking Dead. So it is actually possible to tell a story that follows the collapse of civilization into the dark ages into the rebirth of civilization, where things are completely different. There could be an issue 700 of The Walking Dead that's about people delivering mail. That is exciting to me.
Do you have an end in mind for the whole thing?
I have an end in mind for the comic, and I actually wrote the final scene the other day. I know what I want the final dialogue to be. It may change but the interesting thing to me is that I can never tell anyone involved in this show what the ending that I have in mind is because the comic book most likely will outlive the show. I can't have any nugget of what I have planned making it into the show, because if the show ends on season 12 but the comic doesn't end for, eight, 10 or 20 more years, my ending will be spoiled. That would me off.
