Frank Darling, Jr.

Frank Darling, Jr. is the son of Frank Darling, a Chicago police officer closely allied with Savage Dragon. Growing up in the same chaotic world of superhumans and street-level crime that defined his father's life, he carries on the Darling family's connection to Dragon's world.

Introduced in the pages of Savage Dragon #27 back in 1996, Frank Darling, Jr. is an Image Comics creation from the mind of Erik Larsen — a figure who has quietly persisted through nearly three decades of one of indie comics' most enduring ongoing series. Sharing the wild, sprawling world of Savage Dragon alongside heavyweights like Dragon himself, Malcolm Dragon, and Angel Murphy, this character has carved out a steady presence across 39 catalogued appearances, including at least one collector-recognized key issue. For fans who love digging deep into the rich, continuous mythology that Larsen has been building since the early '90s, Frank Darling, Jr. is exactly the kind of character that rewards loyal readers who've been along for the whole ride.
