Kelly (Comic Series)

"That's what I'm talking about. This isn't our home. The Whisperers? They don't give two shits about us. I don't know that the Alexandrians feel any different."

- Kelly to Magna, expressing his doubts about the Alexandrians accepting them.

Kelly is a character first encountered in Issue 127 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead and is a member of a small group of six people led by Magna trying to survive in the Washington, D.C. area.

Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known about Kelly's life before the outbreak began.

A New Beginning
Kelly is first seen travelling with Magna and the rest of their group. After they came across the herd being led by Jesus, Kelly and his group return to Alexandria with him to meet with Rick.

Along with the rest of the group, Kelly is interviewed by Andrea and later debates about what the group's next move will be against Alexandria.

Magna, Luke, and Kelly decide to sneak into the jail. Once there Negan grabs onto the bars of his jail cell in a frantic frenzy. He says that they have to rescue him from these horrible people and that Rick's group are animals. Magna and her group appear shocked at what Negan has to say. After Magna sees through his lies, they leave.

Later, when Andrea is heading back home, Kelly and the others corner her and demand to know more about the community. She tells them she'll answer any questions, and Kelly lets her go. Andrea informs him and the group that if they hurt her, they'll all die.
