Line Corporation, owner and operator of Line, a free call and messaging app, announced Thursday that it has formed a strategic partnership with Skybound, Robert Kirkman’s imprint at Image Comics and Kirkman’s comic and graphic novels, The Walking Dead, which inspired a television show of the same name.

In celebration of The Walking Dead’s 10th anniversary, Line will have a special photo activation inside a three day gallery execution featuring “The Walking Dead: A Decade of Dead” which is being presented by Hyundai in association with Skybound and Future US, and curated by former editorial director Sina Grace.

Guests at the event will be prompted to download Line and add the official account of The Walking Dead to their list of friends. The Walking Dead will post messages via Line about how event attendees can win prizes.

“This is an exciting promotion because it’s one of the first Line events in North America,” says Line US CEO Jeanie Han.
