Duane Jones (Comic Series)

Duane Jones was a young boy hiding out with his father, Morgan, in various houses in Rick Grimes's neighborhood, attempting to ride out the zombie apocalypse.

Season 1
As a delirious Rick Grimes mopes about in his neighborhood, calling out to a "man" (actually a zombie), Duane smacks Rick on the back of a head with a shovel, shouting out to his father that he "got one". When the pair realize Rick is human, they take him into the house they're staying at and care for him. Later that evening, when Duane's mom is spotted outside, Duane runs to bed, crying. Morgan explains that she turned into one of them.

The next day, Duane, Rick and Morgan take hot showers at the police station and stock up on guns and ammo before parting ways. The father/son return to their home. Duane is downstairs when he hears a gunshot from upstairs. He, in a panic, calls out to his dad, who reassures him everything is ok.

Days Gone Bye
As a delirious Rick Grimes mopes about in his neighborhood, Duane hit him over the head with a shovel, and knock him unconscious. Duane's father, Morgan, realize Rick is human, and they take him into the house they're staying at and care for him. Duane is present during Morgan's explanation to Rick about the zombie outbreak.

After talking, Rick, Morgan, and Duane go to the police station where Rick works. Rick gives Morgan some guns and a car. Morgan and Duane plan on staying in the small town, so Rick and Morgan wish each other well and Rick mentions he will come back later for the two.

After meeting Rick and being provided with weapons from the police station, Duane and his father part ways with Rick, one day hoping to meet each other again. Much later, at Christmas, Morgan and Duane are seen alive and living in a cabin on a snowy mountain, in safety and relative comfort.

What We Become
Some time late, Duane was bitten by a zombie and screamed for Morgan's help. He eventually died and returned undead. Morgan killed four men and two dogs to feed him.

Three or more months after his death, Rick re-encountered the two, found that Morgan is alive but Duane has turned into a zombie. Rick tried to convince Morgan to finish Duane's body, because the real Duane was already dead. Morgan left with Rick, but instead of killing, he left Duane to roam freely within the house.
