The Jam

    (Slave Labor, 1989-1995)
©1990 Bernie E. Mireault
Dark Horse begins publishing series with issue #6; Caliber begins publishing with issue #9. Tundra later republishes issues #1-5 in color as: The Jam Urban Adventure.

Bernie Mireault’s “Jammer” is one of the most creative and engaging takes on life and super-heroics in years. It’s a refreshing combination of adventure and pathos that is neither cliche nor a spoof. The Jam is an original.

The star of this series is Kenny, a nice young man who decided one day to alter a Sears thermal jogging suit and go fight crime. Never mind that he had no training, no super-powers, or for that matter, no deep, dark trauma that transformed him into a living weapon. No, Kenny just liked the suit. That alone seemed to be enough to lead him into one adventure after another. Soon Kenny was stopping muggers, protecting corrupt sheiks, taking on assassin cults, and braving other hazards of urban life. Sadly, he also lost his girlfriend, who couldn’t take the craziness anymore (and had been having Kirby-esque dreams featuring Kenny and the Devil).
