Samurai Jack

Samurai Jack is a time-displaced Japanese warrior prince from Cartoon Network's animated series, trained across the world in countless fighting disciplines before being hurled into a dystopian future by the shape-shifting demon Aku, and now seeks a way back to defeat him.

Samurai Jack made his comics debut in the pages of The Pulse #3 in 2004, bringing the iconic warrior from Cartoon Network's acclaimed animated universe into the Modern Age DC comics landscape. With appearances spread across Cartoon Network Action Pack, Super Secret Crisis War!, and Cartoon Network Super Sampler, this legendary figure has shared the page with some of animation's most beloved heroes — including the Powerpuff Girls and the Kids Next Door crew — making for some wonderfully eclectic crossover adventures. Though his catalog footprint is compact at 11 appearances, every one of them is a treat for fans who grew up watching his saga unfold on screen. If you're building out your Cartoon Network comics collection, Samurai Jack is an essential and distinctive presence worth tracking down.
