The Walking Dead: 15 Most Shocking Comics Moments

Dale was probably too good to survive in this horrific zombie world, but that did not make his death any less shocking. Again, this moment was so horrifying because it plumbed new depths of depravity for a series that was only really getting started.

Dale was captured by a group of humans and woke to the smell of delicious meat… only, that meat ended up being his own. This group of survivors had become cannibals and had chopped off Dale’s one remaining leg and nonchalantly ate it in front of him, with the plan being to keep him alive for as long as possible and dissect pieces of him to eat.

Now the kicker - Dale had been bitten and was slowly dying from the walker infection. A point he took great pleasure in telling the cannibals as they feasted on his tainted flesh. They proceeded to beat Dale half to death and left him to die where he was.
