Cyril Wilson

Cyril Wilson is an early character from Erik Larsen's pre-Image work, debuting in the self-published Graphic Fantasy #1 — the prototype publication that preceded the Savage Dragon universe.

Cyril Wilson holds a genuinely historic place in comics history, debuting in Graphic Fantasy #1 in 1982 — the very Bronze Age ground zero from which Erik Larsen's creative vision would eventually grow into Image Comics' long-running Savage Dragon universe. With two key-issue appearances to their name and a presence in the catalog stretching an remarkable four decades to 2023, Cyril is one of those characters who quietly threads through the DNA of an entire publisher's legacy. They share their pages with heavy hitters like Dragon, Mighty Man, and a colorful cast including Bloop, Kurr, and Animal — the kind of company that tells you this character is woven into the fabric of Larsen's world from its earliest moments. For collectors and Savage Dragon devotees alike, Cyril Wilson is a rewarding piece of the origin story.
