Karl Anderson

Karl Anderson is the comic-book counterpart of the real-life professional wrestler, appearing in Boom! Studios' licensed WWE comics universe. He features across multiple titles in the line, depicted as an in-ring competitor within storylines drawn from WWE programming.

Stepping off the pages of Boom! Studios' licensed WWE comics universe, Karl Anderson made his debut in WWE #5 (2017), courtesy of writer Dennis Hopeless and artist Serg Acuña — right in the thick of the Modern Age's vibrant wave of wrestling-meets-comics storytelling. His appearances span the main WWE series, WWE: Then. Now. Forever., and the WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Special, placing him in some of the most action-packed corners of that short-lived but enthusiastic run. Sharing panels with heavyweights like John Cena, Roman Reigns, Luke Gallows, Kofi Kingston, and Sami Zayn, Anderson keeps genuinely elite company throughout his eight catalogued appearances. A niche gem for the wrestling comics collector, he's a vivid reminder of just how much fun Boom! Studios had bringing the squared circle to the printed page.
