Sam (Comic Series)

"You killed them! YOU KILLED THEM!!"

- Sam

Sam is a character first encountered in Issue 38 of The Walking Dead and is a survivor living in Woodbury, and also a member of Bruce Cooper's four-man squad.

Pre-Apocalypse
Sam's history before and during the undead apocalypse prior to Rick's group encountering him, like most characters, is unknown.

Post-Apocalypse
Sam was a member of a four-man squad led by Bruce Cooper that were sent to sweep the parking lot of the Wal-Mart near Woodbury, Georgia, due to the nearby National Guard Tower being blown up by the prison survivors.

Bruce split his four-man team into two, with Sam accompanying him and the other two unknown men investigating the vehicles in the car-park nearby. Bruce and Sam discovered the survivors present within the abandoned Wal-Mart. Bruce had ordered them to come out, which resulted in Glenn coming alone and being promptly shot by Bruce. In response, Andrea shot Bruce through the throat and Michonne sneaked up and mutilated the other two men with her katana.

Sam witnessed the deaths of his three companions and despite Andrea ordering him to lower his gun, he instead cried out in an outburst, screaming "You killed them... YOU KILLED THEM!", before raising his gun to shoot Andrea.

Killed By

 * Andrea

Sam was promptly killed when Andrea shot him in the head before he had time to fire his own gun.

Killed Victims
This list shows the victims Sam has killed:
 * Possibly numerous counts of zombies and people.

Bruce Cooper
Bruce and Sam are only seen together once throughout the whole comic, and that is after the National Guard Station blew up. It is presumed that Bruce and Sam were friends, due to Sam's outburst after Andrea shot him, but it is possible he was just panicking after seeing people being killed in front of him.

Trivia

 * Sam was the only member of his four-man group given a chance to live.
 * Sam was specifically named by Bruce Cooper.
 * Sam was the first Woodbury soldier Andrea killed, the second being Bruce Cooper (although Bruce was the first one she shot).
