Gold Digger is a manga-style comic book series, written and drawn by Fred Perry, and published by Antarctic Press. Fred came up with the initial inspiration for Gold Digger during his tour of duty in the First Gulf War, and released the debut oneshot in Antarctic Press' Mangazine, in 1991. A four-issue miniseries followed in 1992 and 1993, followed by a regular monthly black-and-white series, and finally the current colour series beginning in 1999.

If counting all the regular series issues, alongside all the connected miniseries, annuals, special issues, and handbooks produced by the author, it is the most extensive, long-running, entirely original creator-controlled, self-contained North American comicbook in history.

Fred himself describes the book as a mixture of Indiana Jones and Final Fantasy. He has recently been inspired by the way the current Doctor Who TV series develops storylines, and adapted the series to a similar consistently self-contained format from issue 101 and onwards, with each issue easily accessible and possible to enjoy for new readers.

At the 2006 Grammy Awards, "Gold Digger" was nominated for Record of the Year and won the award for Best Rap Solo Performance.
