About Sam & Max


Sam & Max, Steve Purcell's dog and rabbity-thing known collectively as the Freelance Police, were introduced to the unsuspecting world in 1987. They have appeared in comics, video games, an animated TV series, and an Eisner award-winning webcomic. Together they patrol the sticky streets of a fantastical New York City, righting wrongs, smashing evil, and delivering hot steamy plates of justice on the daily. They've been to Heck and back, shattered the time stream, and made America safe for bigfoots ... and are now coming to virtual reality.
