Sinbad the Sailor (also spelled Sindbad), is a fictional adventurous sailor of Middle Eastern origin. Sinbad first appeared in the book 1001 Arabian Nights, which also featured the debut of Aladdin. Sinbad is known for his fantastic adventures going to magical places, meeting monsters, encountering supernatural phenomena, and battling nefarious villains during his many adventures while sailing on the seven seas. The popularity of Sinbad eventually led to a globally recognized character worthy of a franchise. The “Sinbad” franchise includes movies (some featuring stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen), TV shows & series (both animated & live action), as well as several media offerings including; books/novels, comics, toys, games, cards, art, clothing, and so much more. Like Conan, Tarzan, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Indiana Jones and the like, Sinbad is widely considered one of the greatest adventure characters of all time!

Now, with this 4 issue comic mini-series, Adventure Comics presents Sinbad’s adventures in glorious Back & White. Sinbad, a rogue who lives by his wits and his sword, taking what treasure he can while breaking the hearts of damsels along the way.
