Who is Battle Tank?

Battle Tank roared onto the scene in Graphic Fantasy #1 in 1982 — a Bronze Age debut from the pen of Erik Larsen that predates Image Comics itself, making this character a genuine piece of foundational history. With 42 years of appearances stretching all the way to 2024, Battle Tank has proven remarkably durable in the Savage Dragon universe, a corner of Image where the storytelling is bold, the action is relentless, and the company is genuinely impressive — sharing pages with Dragon, SuperPatriot, and Mighty Man, among others. Three of those appearances carry key-issue status, the kind of collector significance that rewards longtime fans who've been paying attention. If you're exploring the rich, creator-owned world Erik Larsen built from the ground up, Battle Tank is exactly the sort of character whose longevity tells you there's something worth discovering here.
