Sam & Max

About Me

One's a six-foot tall canine shamus with a love of justice. The other's a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for violence and an oversized Luger. Together, Sam & Max are the Freelance Police, ridding the streets of bottom-feeding sludge one dastardly miscreant at a time.
Sam & Max got their start in the indie comic book scene, courtesy of Steve Purcell. They were regulars in the LucasArts Adventurer magazine in the 1990s, and starred in a popular computer game in 1993, Sam & Max Hit the Road. The duo went on to appear in a Saturday morning cartoon in 1997. Steve Purcell's cult classic Sam & Max collection, Surfin' the Highway, has been out of print for years and goes for insane prices on eBay.
After almost a decade, the Freelance Police have crashed back into the limelight with a new series of episodic games developed by Telltale Games .
All six episodes of Season One are now available online and at retail . The brand new Sam & Max season launched in November. For more details, visit the official Sam & Max Season Two website .
