Gravestone

Gravestone made their mark right at the dawn of the Modern Age, debuting in the pages of Erik Larsen's The Savage Dragon #1 in 1992 — a collector-significant first issue that launched one of the era's most celebrated creator-owned titles. Though their catalog footprint is compact, Gravestone's appearances span an intriguing range, from The Savage Dragon to Malibu Comics' superhero ensemble Protectors and even the pulpy adventure of Tarzan: Love, Lies and the Lost City, suggesting a character with real range across the early '90s independent comics landscape. Along the way, Gravestone shares the page with a compelling roster of characters — Drake Stevens, The Ferret, Man of War, Airman, and Nightmask — the kind of colorful company that defined Malibu's ambitious universe-building ambitions. For collectors hunting the edges of that fertile early-'90s indie boom, Gravestone is a rewarding find hiding in plain sight.
