Feature Article:
SAMURAI JACK SPECIAL #1
The origin story and first great adventure of the samurai star of
Cartoon Network’s hit show makes its debut as a spectacular
super-sized comic! The SAMURAI JACK SPECIAL is a 64-page one-shot
written by Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky (DEXTER’S
LABORATORY), with art by Lynn Naylor & Bill Wray, and featuring a painted
cover by Wray!
Long
ago, in a distant land, a young emperor used the power of an enchanted
sword to defeat and banish the powerful shape-shifting wizard Aku. Years
later, the unthinkable happens: Aku returns. Moments before his capture,
the now-elderly emperor sends the enchanted sword into hiding — and sends
his young son away to grow up mastering the warrior arts of all the
world’s cultures.
The
boy becomes a man and a samurai, determined to avenge his father by
defeating Aku once and for all. But Aku has one more trick up his sleeve,
and hurls the warrior through time into a future where Aku is all-powerful
and controls Earth with evil force.
The
warrior’s name is Jack…Samurai Jack. And he’s determined to find a way
back home somewhere in this new, hostile land — if he doesn’t lose his
life defending its inhabitants against Aku first!
SAMURAI JACK SPECIAL #1 is a 64-page one-shot edited by Joan Hilty,
arriving in comic-book stores July 31 with a cover price of $3.95 U.S.
