The Walking Dead: Who Is Eugene?

This one here is a trick question, folks, because there are potential spoilers ahead…for anybody who reads AMC’s official materials on The Walking Dead‘s Eugene Porter.You see, in the comic book series, Eugene was introduced along with Abraham and Rosita in The Walking Dead #53–and he was presented in a particular way: he was a man who had some inside information into the source of the outbreak, and who had managed to get Abraham and Rosita on his side by giving them hope of a cure.As it turned out, down the line, he was full of crap. Eugene was a high school science teacher who had few marketable skills in the post-apocalyptic world and used a cover story about being a government agent in order to get aid and comfort from people more qualified for this lifestyle.
