\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t expect Daryl Dixon to pop up in the comics anytime soon \u2013 or ever, according to The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. He got fans\u2019 hopes up on April Fool\u2019s Day back in 2014 when he posted a joke comic book cover with Daryl on the front. However, Kirkman was quick to clarify that the cover was a joke, saying in an interview with MTV that he\u2019ll never bring Daryl to the comics. The creator cited Daryl\u2019s \u201cimmense popularity\u201d as the main reasons that he\u2019ll never write a crossover, explaining that despite the fact the television show is based on the comics, the two are on different paths and have core differences as a result. Unfortunately, Daryl just happens to be one of those differences.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Crossbow, motorcycle, tattoos \u2013 Daryl has all the \u201ctough guy\u201d bases covered. Daryl\u2019s tattoos have been revealed on the show before, most notably in Season 3\u2019s \u201cHome.\u201d Merle rips off Daryl\u2019s shirt in the midst of a quarrel during the episode and reveals a host of scars over Daryl\u2019s back. The point of the shot was to emphasize Daryl\u2019s traumatic upbringing, but fans latched on to something else: what could Daryl\u2019s devil-like back tattoos mean? According to Norman Reedus, not much. The actor has said that he opted out of covering his tattoos or giving Daryl his own unique designs and simply kept all of his personal tattoos for his Walking Dead character. Reedus also has several other tattoos besides the two revealed on his back: he also has his dad\u2019s name (also Norman) on his chest, his son\u2019s name \u201cMingus\u201d on his right forearm, and several others.<\/p>\n
\nIt turns out Norman Reedus was an excellent choice to play Daryl Dixon, and not only because his talent shines through onscreen. Daryl was originally written as a harsher, more antagonistic character, akin to his brother Merle. Basically, he was just supposed to be another racist drug addict. Kirkman says you can see these characteristics come out the most in Season 1. However, Reedus wasn\u2019t so convinced that this was the right choice for his character. As the show went on, the actor transformed his character from one exactly like his brother to one more resentful of his past and upbringing. Kirkman has said that it\u2019s Daryl\u2019s complexity that fans enjoy so much today is all due to Reedus\u2019 creative choices, so if you\u2019re a big fan of Daryl\u2019s character, you have the actor to thank.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
