Jerry "The King" Lawler

Few figures bridge the worlds of professional wrestling and comics quite like Jerry "The King" Lawler, who made his four-color debut in 1999's Undertaker #1/2 — a key issue in any serious collector's eyes — courtesy of creators Steven Grant and Jerry Beck. Emerging at the tail end of the Copper Age and carrying into the Modern era, Lawler's comics presence spans a remarkable twenty years, with appearances across titles like WWE Slam City and the WWE Attitude Era 2018 Special that put him squarely in the company of icons like The Undertaker, Kane, John Cena, Triple H, and Big Show. Published through NBM, his catalog footprint is compact but choice — the kind of select appearances that feel deliberate rather than diluted. For wrestling fans who also love comics, finding "The King" on the page is a genuine treat, a reminder that the squared circle and the comic shop have always shared a little of the same electric showmanship.
