In The Walking Dead comic, Carl's age is difficult to pinpoint exactly. It depends on where you are in the storyline. Generally, he starts as a pre-teen and progresses as the narrative unfolds.
There's also 'Carl's New Beginnings'. This fanfic takes a different approach and has Carl forming new alliances and facing unique challenges that we don't see much in the original series. It's a fresh take on his character.
Yes, Carl Grimes dies. It's a tragic moment in the comic series that leaves a lasting impression on readers and influences the course of the story going forward.
It's hard to give an exact age for Carl in the comic because his age progresses as the story unfolds. But generally, he starts as a young kid and grows up as the plot develops. Maybe around 10 to 15 years old at different stages.
I really like 'A Journey with Carl'. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where the reader and Carl are on a journey to find a rumored safe haven. Along the way, they have deep conversations about their pasts, their hopes for the future, and of course, they have to fight off hordes of walkers. It shows a very different side of Carl from what we see in the show sometimes.
