Created by Kieth in 1993 and published by Image Comics, the comic series follows the adventures of the titular hero in both the real world and the alternate reality the Outback. In the real world, he is a vagrant, homeless man living in a box, but when he enters the Outback, he is the powerful protector of the Jungle Queen. Back in the real world, the Jungle Queen is Julie Winters, a freelance social worker who often supports the man and bails him out of jail without knowing the existence of the Outback and its potential dangers on the real world.
Two years after the comics’ debut and rising popularity, it was adapted in to a 13-episode cartoon series on MTV that furthered deepened its cult status and went on to win an Annie Award for Best Animated Series.
