Okay, that's enough... pull him off. ―The Governor telling Martínez to pull Johnny off Dean.

”

Johnny Pruitt is a survivor of the outbreak in Skybound Entertainment's Comic Universe. He is a minor character in Thomas Dunne Books' The Walking Dead and a minor antagonist in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a resident of Woodbury and a member of the Woodbury Army. He is described as a "fat, doughy pothead".

Almost nothing is known about Johnny's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that he hailed from Jonesboro, Georgia.

Woodbury, Georgia

At some point after the outbreak began, Johnny started living in Woodbury.

The Road to Woodbury

"This Is How the World Ends"

One day in, Johnny criticizes the Augusta State Jaguar's football team, the team from the city in which Dean Gorman is originally from. This angers Dean and a violent fight ensues. Martínez arrives on the scene and tries to break it up, but they won't listen. Dean starts winning at the beginning of the fight by jamming his steel toed boots into Johnny's sides, but Johnny gains the upper hand when he knees Dean in the groin. He then proceeds to climb on top of him and punch Dean in the face multiple times. Martínez once again tries to interrupt it, but the Governor, seeing how a crowd of bored residents has formed and are entertained by the scene, tells him to wait. By this point, Johnny had started to strangle Dean and won't let go. This excites the crowd of bystanders. Dean's eyes soon begin to roll back in his head and he collapses. The Governor then allows Martínez to break it up which he does. Their fight inspires the Governor to create the arena, with the National Guardsmen as the fighters.

The Fall of the Governor - Part Two/Made To Suffer

Johnny is seen during a flashback in Issue 43, standing among the Woodbury Army before they begin their assault on the prison. He survives the first attack and retreats along with the rest of the militia. After the Governor returns from beheading Tyreese, Johnny is among the crowd and shocked upon hearing the Governor lie to them about the prison survivors shooting their own man. While launching the second assault, he is shot through the stomach and killed.
