Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has revealed that Rick's iconic first zombie kill was originally meant to be a child. However, he goes on to say the decision was likely changed so Rick could take the corpses' bicycle without looking 'kind of goofy.'
So successful that it redefined the zombie apocalypse genre, the Walking Dead franchise is a master of grabbing viewers and readers from the first moment. However, Rick Grimes' infamous first Walker kill was originally intended to be even more shocking.
In the first issue of The Walking Dead, Sheriff Rick Grimes wakes up in a zombie-infested hospital after recovering from a coma. Rick makes the unfortunate discovery that the world is several days into a zombie outbreak, with his new primary objective being to survive and find his family. After escaping, Rick discovers an injured zombie that is unable to attack him, having crashed a bicycle which he takes in order to continue searching for his family.
Bicycle girl was originally planned to be a kid. Between the plot and the script, I decided an adult woman cyclist would be sadder, or have more of an emotional connection to Rick? Don't know if I agree with that at this point, might have been better as a kid. ... I probably changed Bicycle Kid to Bicycle Girl so that Rick could actually ride the bike. It'd be harder and kind of goofy for him to be riding a little kid's bike to his house. Good call, old Robert.
Rick mercy-killing this zombie is seen as a tragic but humanitarian gesture - a decisive act of empathy that shows the kind of hero Rick will become in the near future. In fact, Rick's first ever Walker killing is so narratively important that she was given a web series on AMC that showed fans who she was before she was infected.
It's hard to imagine the opening to such an iconic series done any other way, but The Walking Dead Deluxe series offers new details that allow fans to consider ways the story and its biggest scenes could have been different. The annotations also give valuable insight into the narrative Robert Kirkland was crafting at the very start for Rick's character. Euthanizing a child zombie as Rick's first decisive action is extremely dark.
