So that was the inspiration for the character Amos, and his community that is built around the rubble of Penn State. Tillie: I’ve always wondered how the Amish would fare in a zombie apocalypse, and in general, I wonder how communities that mostly live apart from modern society would experience the disintegration of society. It was a delight!įCBD: Can you share some of the inspiration behind certain characters, settings, etc.? I had to draw a LOT of snow, a lot of bluster. Tillie: It was really fun drawing these characters trying to live on a mountain in Vermont in the middle of winter. I hope readers enjoy the story, and that it leaves them wanting more, because it’s a trilogy!įCBD: What part of the book was most fun to write/draw? Growing up and discovering who you are can be a beautiful and violent process. If anything, the zombies help make the pain she feels more clear. I think being a teenager is really hard, regardless of whether or not there are zombies around.
Tillie: I think one of the core themes is about the challenge of growing up. This is story for anyone that likes adventure! It’s about Clementine, a teenage girl in the zombie apocalypse trying to find her place in the world, and within herself.įCBD: What are some of the core themes present in your book? What do you hope readers take away from your title? Tillie Walden : Well, you may be familiar with The Walking Dead universe, you may also be familiar with a video game character named Clementine.
