The Topps Company, Inc. has entered into a partnership with AMC to bring new content from The Walking Dead and its companion series Fear the Walking Dead to physical and digital trading cards.

The print series will begin this October with The Walking Dead: Complete Fifth Season card set. The cards will tell the full narrative story of the escape from Terminus through the journey to Alexandria. Each box will include two hits, which include cast autographs, artist-drawn sketch cards and relic cards with pieces of set-worn costumes.  This release will be followed by The Walking Dead: Survival Box high-end premium collector box in December.   

The digital app, The Walking Dead: Card Trader, features new digital card release on a daily basis, and is currently available in the App Store and Google Play Store. The cards cover the entire history of The Walking Dead from the beginning of Season 1 though the most recent events on Season 6.

"The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead have passionate and rabid fan bases looking for new and creative ways to stay connected to their favorite shows," said Jeremy Strauser, General Manager of Topps Digital.  "Topps is uniquely capable of delivering both physical and digital trading cards that will keep fans engaged and allow them to own a piece of these acclaimed shows."

Cryptozoic Entertainment previously held the license to release trading cards for The Walking Dead TV series (see “Two Sets for 'TWD Season 3 Trading Cards'”).
