TheWalkingDead creator Robert Kirkman explains why AMC's TWD Universe never uses the term 'zombie,' unlike the comics:

✖ The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman explains why the comic books — but not the television series — use the term"zombies." In earlier issues of Kirkman's comic saga influenced by the works of Night of the Living Dead filmmaker and zombie godfather George A. Romero, characters call the flesh-eating undead"zombies," more commonly using the nicknames"roamers,""lurkers," and"walkers.
