This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for the TV Series counterpart. For other pages with the same name, see: Barbara

It's no trouble at all, really. Tell me what you'd like. I've been so worried that I'd cook something you wouldn't enjoy.
―Barbara to Michonne as she leaves a party held by Douglas.[src]

Barbara is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is a resident of the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Not much is known about Barbara's life prior to or as the outbreak began. It is unknown if she lived in or near Alexandria before the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Life Among Them[]

Barbara is first seen at the house party that Douglas holds to introduce Rick's survivor group into the Community. She gossips with the other women of the Alexandria Safe-Zone that Spencer was homosexual like Eric and Aaron. She is seemingly friendly to Olivia and Michonne and urged Michonne to find someone to date, suggesting Heath as he was single.

Like the other Community residents, Barbara seems to block out the factor of the zombie crisis outside their walls. The nature of the party irritates Michonne, who lashes out at Barbara when the latter asks her what type of cake she would like for her to make.[1]

No Way Out[]

Barbara, like many other residents, does not appear for a while because of the Alexandria Safe-Zone chaos.

Something To Fear[]

Barbara hasn't shown herself until Issue 89 and Issue 90, where she is seen briefly in the background. Barbara was also seen in Issue 97 inside of the church on the front row with Abraham, Holly, and Spencer while Gabriel Stokes was asking God to keep Rick, Carl, Michonne, Andrea, and Glenn safe while they are in the Hilltop Colony.

All Out War - Part One[]

She survives the battle against the Saviors at the Alexandria Safe-Zone, and moves to the Hilltop Colony with the other survivors.

All Out War - Part Two[]

When the Saviors attack at Hilltop, it is unknown if Barbara was killed or not, leaving her status unknown.

Relationships[]

Trivia[]

  • In Issue 19's Letter Hacks, Robert Kirkman teased that he might pay homage to another horror actor by naming a character after them. Barbara most likely is a reference to the 1950's horror star Barbara Steele.
  • Barbara is one of two named characters whose fate is still unknown after the two-year time skip, the other being Wesley.
  • When asked about Barbara's fate, Robert Kirkman jokingly stated that he doesn't remember Barbara.[2]
