VIDEO : 'Fear The Walking Dead' Faces Copyright Lawsuit

It's another legal battle for AMC over the lucrative The Walking Dead franchise. The cable network, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Skybound Productions, producer Gale Anne Hurd's Valhalla Entertainment and executive producer David Alpert are among those named in a copyright lawsuit from comic creator Mel Smith, Deadline reports. In the suit, which was filed yesterday in federal court in California, Smith claims that the second season of Fear The Walking Dead lifted significant elements from his comic series Dead Ahead.
