This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for her appearance in the Novel Series, or her Road to Survival or TV Series counterparts. For other pages with the same name, see: Judith

It's a girl.
―Alice when Judith is born.[src]

Judith Grimes, also known as "Judy", is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is the newborn daughter of Lori Grimes and Shane Walsh, the half-sister of Carl, and the adoptive daughter of Rick.

Post-Apocalypse[]

The Calm Before[]

Judith was the second child born of Lori Grimes and the first infant depicted as having been born after the outbreak. As one of the few people so far to have no memories of a world without the horrors of the outbreak, her parents expressed hopes that she would not live in constant fear as they do and accept the post zombie world as the way things were without referencing the way things used to be.

It was a point of contention within the comics as to who is Judith's biological father. Lori had a very brief sexual liaison with Shane Walsh, Rick's best friend, on their way to Atlanta. This put Shane into the right time frame for Judith's conception, although Rick was reunited with Lori not long after, so it was still entirely possible that he was indeed Judith's biological father, although this has been proven false. Rick had since forgiven Lori for her affair with Shane, but, forbid mention that he mightn't be Judith's biological father. As far as he was concerned, he loved his daughter and the circumstances of her conception were completely irrelevant.

Made To Suffer[]

Judith is protected by her mother and Alice Warren, upon The Governor's assault at the prison. While fleeing the prison, Lori is shot while carrying Judith which resulted in both their deaths much to Rick's horror.

Death[]

Killed By

During the prison attack, the Governor notices the Grimes family fleeing and orders Lilly to finish them off.

After Lori is shot in the back by Lilly, she falls to the ground and lands on top of Judith, crushing and suffocating her to death. It can be assumed that their corpses were devoured by walkers.
