When one of the most devastating scenes from The Walking Dead comic was adapted for television, AMC's series delivered a double gutpunch to fans – an idea that originated with franchise creator Robert Kirkman. The brutal death of Glenn at the hands of Negan was also the exit for the TV version of Abraham, in one of the show's most dramatic divergences from the comic book source material.
Abraham's TV Death Was Meant To Make Glenn Seem Safe –For A Moment The Walking Dead Deluxe #91 – Written By Robert Kirkman; Art By Charlie Adlard: Color By Dave McCaig; Lettering By Rus Wooten Close Abraham's death on The Walking Dead – while unquestionably horrific – offered a dark glimmer of hope for fans who wanted Glenn to have a different arc on the show.
Is it okay to say that was my pitch? I wanted to give the audience a sense of safety. I wanted Glenn fans to have a moment of, "Oh, whew! They're not killing Glenn!" Only to be shocked very soon after. The goal was to make a death you should be expecting if you're a comic book fan, still surprising. For better or for worse...it succeeded in that!
Abraham's Fate On The Walking Dead Show Was A More Resonant Exit For The Character It Served A Greater Narrative Purpose When Negan "randomly" selected Abraham to die, it was a shock, but it also represented a logical revised endpoint for the character. Prior to his death in The Walking Dead #100, Glenn had been a central character since the second issue of the series.
