Who is Detective William Jonson?

Detective William Jonson is a Chicago police officer who works alongside the Savage Dragon in the pages of Erik Larsen's long-running series, serving as a human law-enforcement presence amid the superhuman chaos that defines the Dragon's world.

Detective William Jonson is a fixture of Erik Larsen's wild, boundary-pushing Savage Dragon universe at Image Comics, debuting in 1993 during the explosive early Modern Age when Image was rewriting the rules of superhero storytelling. Over more than two decades, Jonson carved out a steady presence across 45 catalogued appearances β€” including two collector-recognized key issues β€” sharing pages with heavy hitters like Dragon, Mighty Man, and Rapture in the pages of Savage Dragon, Savage Dragon Archives, and Savage Dragon Companion. He's the kind of grounded supporting player who gives a chaotic, superpowered world its connective tissue, and for fans who love digging into the rich ensemble that makes Larsen's long-running saga tick, Jonson is absolutely worth tracking down.
