Mel Smith created the zombie-comic series *Dead Ahead*, which he contends "Fear the Walking Dead" ripped off. AMC contended that once the common zombie elements of the stories were taken out of the argument, not much remains. Judge disagreed.
Smith's former agent is David Alpert, partner and biz-manager of "WD" creator Robert Kirkman. He's on the hook for letting "Fear" be financed despite the comparisons.
