Merle isn't in the comic at all.

The characters seen so far that are actually from the comic are:
Rick, Lori and Carl Grimes
Shane
Glenn
Amy and Andrea
Dale
Jim (the guy digging the graves)
Carol and Sophia (Her husband did not appear in the comic he was already dead).
Morgan and Duane Jones (the guy from Jericho in the first episode and his kid)

Everybody else was made up for the TV show. So no searching for Merle in the comic.
Spoiler: They've also changed Shane a bit already. He dies in sixth issue, but I've heard that they plan to keep him around longer in the series.
They've actually removed an entire family that appears in the comics although I can't help but wonder Spoiler: if it's because one of the twins kills the other later on and the TV show just didn't want to deal with that.

I must say, the one disappointment I had with this episode is that Spoiler: Andrea didn't headshot the dying Amy so she wouldn't turn like she did in the comic. Although the gang thing was kind of dumb too.
I'm noticing more often then not the things that they've made up for the show are the things that are the worst about the show.
