Axel

Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard introduced Axel to the grim, unrelenting world of The Walking Dead in 2006, dropping him into one of Image Comics' most celebrated Modern Age series right from issue #5. He moves through that harrowing universe alongside survivors like Andrea, Lori Grimes, and Hershel Greene — a roster of characters that signals just how close to the heart of the story he sits. With appearances across The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: Michonne Special, and at least one collector-recognized key issue to his name, Axel is a figure worth tracking down for any serious fan of Kirkman's landmark saga.
