Jack's Luck Runs Out is a full-color one-shot comic book created by Jason Little.

[3] Little considered Jack's Luck Runs Out originally to be an exercise in drawing, but it eventually developed into a full-fledged comic book.

The entire book was drawn and inked before the faces were added, which were taken from playing cards.

[1] Little was inspired to create Jack's Luck Runs Out by the comics of Evan Dorkin.

[5] Since playing cards originate from medieval times, they have a distinct two-dimensional quality to them.
