Fictional characters

Jed Walker DC Comics character

Jed Walker is a DC Comics character. He appeared in Jack Kirby and Joe Simon's short-lived series The Sandman, where he was protected from nightmare monsters by the titular hero. He lived with his grandfather, Ezra Paulsen, a fisherman on Dolphin Island, and, after his grandfather's death, with a tyrannical aunt and uncle. This change occurred in issue #5. Uncle Barnaby and Aunt Clarice come to Dolphin Island in that issue, intending to take Jed away from Paulsen, and realizing that Paulsen is dead, have no one to fight for him. He is bullied by his brutish cousins, Bruce and Susan, and forced to do most of the household chores and gardening work, while not being allowed to partake of the food that everyone else eats. Originally, the character had no stated surname, and he was sometimes referred to as "Jed Paulsen," the surname of his father and his paternal grandfather Ezra.
