Samurai Jack #8 + 9 - Full Script (Patreon)

These are two done-in-one issues, written in a similar format to the Samurai Jack cartoon, with Jack coming up against a new and strange threat and having to fight his way out.

Issue #8 is based on a story idea Andy Suriano (the regular comic artist and original Samurai Jack character designer) had. We decided to make this issue dialogue-free to play up the silence that permeated much of the cartoon. Andy's a brilliant visual storyteller so I was able to set up the scenes and have him deliver on them even without anyone speaking.

Issue #9 is another 'high concept' issue, this one with an idea I had to have Jack rotate around a villain and the reader also rotate around the page as they read the story. It's loosely based on an orb boss battle from a classic arcade game called Strider I loved playing when I was a kid.
