Jason Voorhees

Jason Voorhees, the hockey-masked slasher from the Friday the 13th franchise, made his comics debut in a comedic Cracked magazine parody before later starring in darker material such as the crossover Jason vs. Leatherface alongside the Texas Chain Saw Massacre villain.

Horror's most iconic masked menace made his comics debut in the pages of Cracked #260 in 1991, brought to life by Jerry De Fuccio, Lou Silverstone, and Frank Borth in a Copper Age entry that leans into the humor and irreverence that magazine was famous for. Over a 24-year span across publishers including Topps, Jason Voorhees carved out a surprisingly varied comics presence — most notably in Jason vs. Leatherface, where he shares the page with fellow horror legend Leatherface, and in anthology-style appearances alongside the likes of Freddy Krueger, Spider-Man, Bart Simpson, and Dick Tracy. With seven catalog appearances and at least one recognized key issue, this is a compact but genuinely fascinating comics footprint for one of pop culture's most enduring figures — and for horror and comics collectors alike, tracking down his appearances is a rewarding hunt.
