The slideshow gallery below presents a chronological series of comics, starting with the famous cartoons by Edward Jump in the 1860s, that feature depictions of Emperor Norton.  The gallery is part of the Visual Arts section of The Emperor Norton Trust’s ARENA: ARchive of Emperor Norton in Art, Music & Film.

For comic strips that feature Emperor Norton as a recurring character, a single episode or frame is used as an example and, where possible, a link to a larger selection is provided.
