Bloop

Few characters can claim they were there at the very beginning — but Bloop can, debuting in Graphic Fantasy #1 in 1982, the Bronze Age ground zero where Erik Larsen first began building what would eventually become the Image Comics universe. Across more than four decades, Bloop has remained a recurring presence in the world of Savage Dragon, sharing pages with the likes of Dragon himself, Mighty Man, and Kurr, which puts this character squarely in some of the most beloved corners of Larsen's long-running creator-owned saga. With two key-issue appearances to their name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2023, Bloop is a genuine piece of comics archaeology — the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the dedicated fan who digs into the Savage Dragon Archives looking for the full story. If you love tracing a universe back to its roots, Bloop is exactly the sort of find that makes collecting so endlessly rewarding.
