Zen Intergalactic Ninja

From 1992 onward, Zen Intergalactic Ninja, published by Zen/Archie, follows the cosmic adventures of a peacekeeping ninja who protects the universe from intergalactic threats. Writer Steve Stern and artist Ross Andru anchor this three-issue series, blending martial arts action with whimsical sci-fi in a way that captures the playful, early-’90s indie spirit. Though brief, it stands as a curious artifact of the era’s crossover between underground comics and mainstream publishing.
