The Walking Dead: 15 Most Shocking Comics Moments

A major difference between comic Hershel and TV Hershel is that he had more children in the comic, including twin girls Rachel and Susie. After arriving at the prison under acrimonious circumstances, Hershel settles in with the community and things looks to be improving.

That is until Hershel takes his eyes off his twin daughters. Realising he has not seen them for a while, he goes looking around the prison grounds for them. That is when he stumbles upon their decapitated bodies. In shock Hershel and Maggie, who arrived shortly after him, watched as the dead girls’ heads reanimated and had to be put down by Glen.

One of the inmates in the prison turned out to be a psychopathic serial killer obsessed with decapitating people, and had murdered the two girls and planned to keep going.

Just the visual of two sweet innocent girls beheaded would have been shocking enough, but this was also the first time that the survivors had come across human savagery. Up until this point the walkers had been the biggest threat to them. Now they faced a new evil - a human evil, and it left fans unsure of who to trust or how to even understand why someone would do this.
