History ComicBook / ZombieKidDiaries

The book was originally titled ''Diary of a Zombie Kid'', but was changed after the author of the ''...Wimpy Kid'' series sued the company thinking they were plagiarizing his books (despite it being obvious it was a parody and wasn't even close to resembling his works outside of story format). This is also the first AP comic to be sold in stores outside of comic shops due to the novel format.

* DisappearedDad: ...till the third book at least.
