Trickster is the first comic-book character created by Miki Muster and one of the three protagonists in the comic series The Adventures of Trickster, Hardie and Hungerly.
Trickster is a fox, which perfectly suits his character, as he is the craftiest and most cunning of the trio. He enjoys the company of attractive women and lives outside the constraints of regular employment. In his adventures, he consistently fights on the side of justice and good.
This is the character with whom Miki Muster most easily identified. One could say that he partly created himself in Trickster, endowing him with many of his own human qualities. Trickster was very popular with readers, although his friend Hungerly later surpassed him in popularity.
Trickster’s visual style underwent the greatest transformation over the course of the series. In the earliest stories, he was depicted as a small, dwarf-like fox drawn with a pen; later, rendered with a brush, he appeared as a tall and slender fox. Over the span of 23 years, this evolution became one of the most noticeable aspects of the character.
