"Tony Moore has asked to be declared co-author of The Walking Dead. The artist - who illustrated the initial run on the best-selling comic - is seeking the legally declared status on the Robert Kirkman-penned series and several other properties, according to Courthouse News Service.   The other titles which Moore wishes to be declared co-author of are his Kirkman collaborations Battle Pope and Brit, as well as potential comic series Dead Planet and My Name Is Abraham. The artist launched a lawsuit against his childhood friend earlier in the year, claiming that Kirkman promised him a share of the revenue from those properties which he has never received. Moore called his collaborator &amp;quot;a proud liar and fraudster who freely admits he has no qualm misrepresenting material facts in order to consummate business transactions&amp;quot; in the court documents. Kirkman previously dismissed the lawsuit as &amp;quot;ridiculous&amp;quot;. The Walking Dead #100 was the top selling comic in July. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
