DAD! I'M COMING DAD! NO! NO! NOT MY FATHER! NOT MY FATHER!
―Arnold protecting his father from zombies moments before his own death.[src]

Arnold Greene is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is Hershel Greene's second eldest son, and the brother of Maggie, Billy, Shawn, Lacey, and the twin girls, Rachel and Susie.

Overview[]

Arnold didn't speak much before his death, but he seemed to have a rather cold demeanor. Hershel described him as, "having a chip on his shoulder", however, Arnold was loyal and reliable to his father and siblings. After the accidental release of the zombies in the barn, Arnold is quick to rush to his father's aid and saves his life. However, this ends up costing his own life after he is bitten by a zombified Shawn.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Greene Family Farm[]

Not much is known about Arnold's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he was born in 1982 to his mother and Hershel Greene. He moved to the family farm after the death of his mother.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Miles Behind Us[]

Arnold remained on the farm as the outbreak began. Soon after the outbreak, a group led by Rick Grimes arrived and Hershel allowed them to stay until the leader's son, Carl, was healed. Following the group's target practice session, and the capture of a roamer, Arnold and Lacey climbed from the back of the barn into the hayloft to distract the occupied barn "inhabitants". Following the accidental release of the zombies, Lacey became frightened as Arnold leaped to save their father. Before Hershel could be grabbed, Arnold rammed the roamer with his shoulder, knocking it to the ground. He jumped on top of it, beating it with his fists in retaliating of his father's near-death. As he was doing so, his reanimated brother approached from behind and ripped open his neck with his teeth.

Then, he was put down by his distraught father in order to prevent reanimation. Following his death, he was buried on a patch of land on the farm, and a funeral was held for all three Greene children lost in the accidental release.
