Bludgeon

Bursting onto the scene in 1996 courtesy of Erik Larsen's wildly imaginative Savage Dragon, Bludgeon is a product of Image Comics' bold, boundary-pushing era — a time when superhero comics wore their intensity proudly on their sleeve. With appearances spread across both Savage Dragon and Freak Force, this character inhabits a corner of the Image Universe populated by some genuinely memorable figures, sharing pages with Dragon himself, Mighty Man, Horridus, and Sara Hill. Twelve catalog appearances across a handful of years make Bludgeon a compact but intriguing piece of the Larsen tapestry — the kind of character that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter who loves discovering the texture and depth hiding just beneath a flagship title's surface.
