Fade

Born into the wild, creator-owned energy of Image Comics' early days, Fade made their debut in Erik Larsen's The Savage Dragon in 1993 — right at the heart of that bold Copper/Modern Age moment when superhero comics were reinventing themselves with attitude and ambition. Over a span of roughly two decades, Fade carved out a presence across Savage Dragon, Savage Dragon Archives, and the delightfully offbeat Savage Dragon vs. Savage Megaton Man, sharing pages with a colorful roster that includes Dragon, Mighty Man, and Sub-Human. With at least one key-issue appearance to their name, Fade is the kind of cult figure that rewards the dedicated Larsen devotee — a piece of the sprawling, singular world that Erik Larsen has been building, issue by issue, for thirty-plus years.
