Dr. Gillespie Flem

A curious figure from the Modern Age of Image Comics, Dr. Gillespie Flem made their debut in Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon #137 in 2008, stepping into one of indie comics' most gloriously unpredictable universes. With just a handful of appearances spread across Savage Dragon, Madman 20th Anniversary Monster!, and The Tick, this character occupies a rare and intriguing crossroads of some of Image's most beloved and offbeat titles. Sharing pages with the likes of Madman, Frank Einstein, The Tick, and Kurr is no small thing — that's rarefied, wonderfully weird company. A minor figure by count, perhaps, but one whose brief presence spans exactly the kind of wild, creator-owned corner of comics that collectors love to dig into.
