Sam (Comic Series)

"You killed them! YOU KILLED THEM!!"

- Sam yelling at Andrea.

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

Location Unknown
Nothing is known about Sam's life before the outbreak or as the outbreak began. He may have lived in or near Woodbury, Georgia.

Wal-Mart Shootout
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 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 Curtis and the other man 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
Sam was promptly killed when Andrea shot him in the head before he had time to fire his own gun, even though Sam had the chance to surrender.
