Jerry Sags

Jerry Sags is the real-life WWF wrestler depicted in comic form, appearing in Acclaim/Valiant's licensed wrestling comics line beginning with the 1991 World Wrestling Federation Ultimate Warrior's Workout. One half of the tag team The Nasty Boys, Sags was rendered in four-color form during wrestling comics' early-'90s peak.

Stepping out of the early 1990s comics boom, Jerry Sags made his four-color debut in 1991's World Wrestling Federation Ultimate Warrior's Workout, brought to life by creators Lynn Charles and David Lapham for Acclaim/Valiant during the Copper/Modern Age. His catalog footprint spans a surprisingly long arc — from that debut all the way through to the WWE: SummerSlam 2017 Special — making him one of the more enduring presences in wrestling comics' niche but passionate corner of the medium. Along the way he shares the page with an absolute murderers' row of WWF legends: The Ultimate Warrior, Sgt. Slaughter, The Undertaker, and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, among others. For collectors who love the intersection of pro wrestling and sequential art, Jerry Sags is a genuine find — a character whose appearances in titles like World Wrestling Federation Battlemania capture a wild, exuberant era when two pop-culture juggernauts briefly collided.
