Here's how the cast of 'The Walking Dead' looks compared to their comic-book counterparts

"The Walking Dead" is based off of the popular comic series of the same name from Robert Kirkman.

Not all of the characters on the AMC show have roots in the comics though. Daryl and Tara are among the series' original characters. Others, like Carol, are completely different from their comic-book counterparts.

Andrew Lincoln plays the survivors' fearless leader, Rick Grimes.

We've seen Rick go from the tame and quick-thinking "Officer Friendly" to a more savage, menacing force in the zombie apocalypse.

Now, Rick has brought together three communities — Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom — in the war against Negan.

Rick's son Carl is played by Chandler Riggs who grew up on the show.

Carl has had one of the series' largest transformations. Not only has actor Chandler Riggs grown his hair out, but now he wears a prosthetic and bandage to cover up his missing eye to look like a spitting image of his comic counterpart.

Danai Gurira plays the katana-wielding Michonne.

While Rick and Michonne started a relationship on the show, that's not the case in the comics; the two are just good friends.

Instead, she starts relationships with Morgan and King Ezekiel in the books. The TV version of Michonne has partially taken over the role of Andrea from the comic, who similarly starts up a relationship with Rick.
