About the work

Samurai Jack

A samurai, sent through time, fights to return home and save the world. Samurai Jack is an American animated science fantasy action-adventure television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network and later its nighttime programming block Adult Swim. It was produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Tartakovsky conceived Samurai Jack after finishing his work on his first Cartoon Network original series, Dexter's Laboratory, which premiered in 1996. Samurai Jack took inspiration from the 1972 televised drama Kung Fu, starring David Carradine, as well as Tartakovsky's fascination with the historic samurai culture of Japan and the Frank Miller comic series Ronin.
