How closely or not the makers of The Walking Dead stick to Robert Kirkman’s comic book source material is their business, and by the looks of these first images of David Morrissey as long-awaited villain and survivor settlement leader The Governor, it’s not very close at all, at least as far as costumes are concerned.
Thus far (and things could, and probably will change), Morrissey’s Governor boasts no long, greasy mop, Danny Trejo facial hair, or eye-patch, so perhaps he’s more Governor in spirit than appearance. Reassuringly, Kirkman told TV Guide in no uncertain terms that “The Governor in the show is definitely going to be The Governor in the comic […] We are not going to be watering him down.” We don't think this paragraph contains quite enough repetition of the word Governor. So we'll just leave you with this thought: Governor. That thought again: Governor.
