This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for his TV Series and Road to Survival counterparts. For other pages with the same name, see: Mark

I'm with you. Things were better then... We were stronger.
―Mark to Negan after he asks if the Saviors would like to follow his lead once again.[src]

Mark is a former antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a member of the Saviors and the former boyfriend of Amber.

Overview[]

Mark is initially fearful of Negan, as after he is caught having an affair with one of his "wives", he is punished by being burnt by the iron. When given the opportunity to escape the Sanctuary with Carson and Eugene, he and a few others take the chance without hesitation.

Strangely however, over two years later, when Negan offers the chance go back to the way things were, Mark is the only one in favor of Negan taking over, saying that they were stronger when he was in charge. Negan himself berates Mark for this choice seeing as Negan burnt half his face and calls him a "special kind of sheep".

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Nothing is known about Mark's life prior to or as the outbreak began.

Post-Apocalypse[]

What Comes After[]

Hardly anything is known about Mark, except at some point in the apocalypse, he came in contact with a group called "the Saviors" and joined their group. He had sex with one of Negan's wives, Amber, and was punished by Negan when he put a boiling hot iron against his face which horribly scarred him. He is then carried away by Carson and another Savior.

All Out War - Part Two[]

As Mark is walking with his girlfriend Amber, they both discover Carson leading Eugene and his crew out of the Sanctuary. They approach Carson and ask if they can go with them, she says to Carson "It's okay. We're not going to say anything." In Issue 124 Mark is in the back of the van, being driven to the Hilltop Colony. As the van is shot at by a Savior and the engine shuts down, Mark worried about their situation asks "Can you start it? Are we stuck?!". To escape the van he follows Eugene's plan and witnesses Donnie being pushed off the roof. Mark along with the crew rest upon the roof until sunrise.

Life And Death[]

At the fair, Sherry finds Mark huddled in a corner, when asked what's wrong, Mark believes that Amber left him for another man, and asks her why wouldn't she leave him. Unknown to him, Amber was killed by the Whisperers.

No Turning Back[]

After Rick reveals the names of the twelve deceased community members, Amber being among them, Mark is shocked to hear about her death.

A Certain Doom[]

Mark is in the revolt against Alexandria led by Sherry, who wants to try to take over the Alexandria Safe-Zone. After Sherry's death Negan puts into question about him being back in charge of the Saviors. Mark admits that they were better off when he was in charge and in favor of Negan leading the Saviors once again, to which Negan reacts unfavorably. In the end Mark and the rest of the Saviors depart from Alexandria peacefully.

The Rotten Core[]

Mark is seen working in the Sanctuary gardens with the other Saviors. When John mentions that nobody wants to go back to Negan's way, he looks at Mark, who hangs his head in shame.

Trivia[]

  • Mark is the second known person to have his face burned by Negan, the first being Dwight.
    • Curiously, Mark is still able to blink with his left eye, unlike Dwight. This is especially strange considering in Issue 105, when Mark passes out from having his face burned, his left eye is still open, implying the eyelid was burned off. However, in subsequent issues, he still has it. It's possible it could've healed, or this was merely an oversight.
  • Mark doesn't appear in Here's Negan but Amber does, showing that Mark and Amber's relationship probably started after the apocalypse.
  • Mark's rebellion against the Alexandria Safe-Zone is somewhat ironic; during All Out War, Mark helped Eugene escape, favoring the Alexandrians, which shows that Mark was against the Saviors. In Volume 28, he appears to be against Alexandria.
  • It's possible Mark and Amber are a reference to Mark Grayson and Amber Bennett from Robert Kirkman's other comic book series, Invincible.
