This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for his appearance in the Novel Series, his TV Series or Road to Survival counterparts, or the other doctor in the Comic Series.

I'm not dying... think of it... scientifically... I'm just... evolving... into a different--worse life form. I'll still exist... in some way. Take the supplies... you'll need them to take care of these people. Use what I taught you. Go.
―Stevens to Alice after being bitten.[src]

Dr. Stevens (first name unknown) is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is the head doctor and a resident of Woodbury.

Overview[]

Stevens is an intelligent, stern, and friendly man. To his patients, he is calm and caring. He immediately befriends Rick despite their initial hostile encounter. He openly shows disgust at the actions of the bloodthirsty Governor and has no qualms insulting him. Despite his disdain, Stevens is unable to do anything to stand up to the Governor knowing the punishments he will face. After being given the opportunity to escape Woodbury, Stevens takes it, though which much sadness knowing some of the residents he will be leaving behind. In his last moments, he immediately accepts his fate and tells his trusted assistant to take his supplies and go help others in need.

The Best Defense[]

Stevens and his young assistant, Alice, treated all of the citizens of the town who were sick or injured, as well as those who participated in the arena duels despite his many protests. He didn't agree with the Governor's views or beliefs, especially with what the Governor was doing with the town's newest visitors (i.e. Rick, Michonne, and Glenn).

This Sorrowful Life[]

He was in the middle of treating one of the arena fighters, Harold, when another arena fighter, Eugene Cooney, marched into the clinic and stabbed Harold in the neck for knocking out a good chunk of his teeth, albeit on accident.

After treating Rick's severed hand, the doctor fled town with the aforementioned survivors, along with Alice and Martinez in order to escape the Governor's tyrannical rule. On the way out of the town, a woman by the name of Marianne Williams runs into Stevens. She informs him that her son, Matthew, has a fever. Stevens sadly tells her to make an appointment later, knowing that he will never be back in town.

Stevens barely made it out of the town before he was bitten by a zombie. He was the first one over the fence, but a roamer came up from behind him and bit him. As he was dying, he begged Alice to continue his work by taking care of the group.
