Dead Or Alive? The Walking Dead Quiz

1.4K Shares

The Walking Dead quickly became one of Image Comics' most popular series when it first debuted. The series was created by Robert Kirkman to answer the question of what happens when the credits roll on a regular zombie story. What do the people do and how do they continue to survive... if they do at all. The Walking Dead explored the lives of the people who would otherwise have occupied a comic or film for only a short while before coming to an end, but there is no end in sight for the survivors of The Walking Dead.

AMC decided to greenlight a television series adaptation of the comic book series in 2010 and it has been dominating the airwaves since it first aired. The show features some of the best creature-effects makeup ever seen on television and it has such a talented cast, people have simply fallen in love with the series.

Most fans are devoted to either the television series or the comics, but not so many are familiar with both other than the truly die-hard fans. Are you one of them? Can you go through our list of characters found in both the television series and the comic books and indicate whether or not they are still alive? It's harder than you think because someone alive in one medium might not be around anymore in the books.

How well do you know The Walking Dead? Can you say who is alive or dead?

Father Gabriel is a Priest and one of the few characters whose pre-apocalypse profession has carried into the world of the Walking Dead. He is a member of the Alexandria community of survivors and has struggled with his fear and inability to offer aid to those in need.

Her leadership style and ability to act in any situation regardless of the desperation or concern has made her a valuable leader to Rick and the Hilltop Community.

The school in which he taught was set up as a safe zone, but it fell to the Walkers, which spurned him to leave and find Woodbury.

Question 4

Carol was first introduced as a meek and battered woman who was among the members of survivors living in Dale's camp outside of Atlanta.

Carol developed into an incredibly tough person whose "take no crap from anyone or anything" attitude helped her to survive through her appearances on the television series.

Question 5

Darryl Dixon from the Walking Dead television show

Daryl was one of the earliest members of the Atlanta camp when he was introduced as an experienced hunter.

This has made him one of Rick's most trusted lieutenants and he has become a major player in the post-outbreak society. In the early episodes, his character was driven due to his conflict with his brother, but since Merle was killed, Daryl has solidified himself as one of the core members of the group.

Glenn from the Walking Dead comics

Glen first appeared in the comics in issue #2 when he found and rescued Rick who had gotten himself into quite a pickle on the streets of downtown Atlanta.

When they meet up with Rick and his crew, they join together and all settle inside the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

Question 11

Michonne - Television

Michonne from the Walking Dead television show

Michonne first appeared on the television series at the gates of the prison. She learned long before that she could travel stealthily among the dead if she was accompanied by a couple of her own so she cut off the jaws and arms of Terry and Mike (her brother and boyfriend) after they let her son Andre be devoured, and traveled the land. She is an impressive combatant whose skill with the katana has earned her hundreds of Walker kills as well as the odd human here and there.

Question 12

He is first introduced in issue #2 living with his mother Lori under the protection of Shane, Rick's best friend and former police partner.

Question 13

Deanna - Television

Deanna from the Walking Dead television show

Before the outbreak/end of the world, Deanna was a United States Congresswoman from Ohio. She became the leader of the group of survivors living in the Alexandria community prior to the arrival of Rick and his crew. She is very committed to her community and does whatever is within her power to shield her people from harm. This led to an isolation within the walls of Alexandria that made them unprepared for the dangers lurking on the other side of the wall. Rick and his crew were all too eager to bring Deanna and her people up to speed.

Question 14

Judith - Comics

Judith Grimes from the Walking Dead comics

Judith is the second child of Lori and possible daughter of either Rick or Shane (It's Shane... we all know she's Shane's kid). She was born shortly after Rick and the crew make it to the prison and first appeared in issue #39. Since Judy is a baby, there isn't much she contributes to the crew other than a need for them to go out and find baby formula. She is more of an instrument of conflict between the unfortunate love triangle between Lori, Shane, and Rick.

Question 15

Rick Grimes - Comics

Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead comics

Rick is the primary antagonist of the series making much of the story center around him. Rick was a police officer who was wounded and hospitalized when the outbreak occurred. The series began with him waking up in a hospital already overrun with the dead. He later found his wife, son, and best friend outside of Atlanta and quickly established himself as an authority who would stop at absolutely nothing to save the people he cared about. Rick's leadership and willingness to cross the line has made him a ruthless and calculating man who is capable of anything and everything.

Question 16

Merle - Television

Merle Dixon from the Walking Dead television show

Merle is one of the original survivors to be found in the camp on the outskirts of Atlanta. He is the brother of Daryl and is as stereotypically redneck as anyone could possibly be.

He is left in Atlanta by T-Dogg and Rick where he is forced to remove his own hand to escape a horde of Walkers. He transitions into a series antagonist and becomes a major player in the survivors' affairs.

Question 17

He spent his time outside the safety of the Alexandria Safe-Zone so that he could recruit other survivors into their mix.

Question 18

Enid was a lone survivor who traveled the roads after her parents were eaten by Walkers. She eventually came to find the survivors in the Alexandria Safe-Zone. She was initially distrustful, but came to see her fellow survivors as family. She developed a close relationship with Carl. After some time, she relocated to the Hilltop to help take care of Maggie. Enid is an original character for the television series having never been seen in the comics. It's unlikely she will make a comic book appearance as Kirkman doesn't seem to favor doing that anytime soon.

Question 19

Olivia - Television

Olivia from the Walking Dead television show

Olivia was a coffee shop employee before the outbreak and her skills at inventory led her to take on the role of Quartermaster for the Alexandria survivors. She is timid and not especially helpful when it comes to taking out the Walking Dead, but she is still a valued member of the group.

She will stand up to those who threaten her and those she cares about.

Question 20

Eugene - Comics
