Who is Horridus?

Horridus is a superhuman woman in Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon universe, a reptilian-looking hero who has been part of that world since its earliest days and later fought alongside Dragon and others as a member of Freak Force.

Few characters can claim roots stretching back to a scrappy 1982 Bronze Age debut in Graphic Fantasy #2 β€” the very cradle of what would become one of Image Comics' most beloved universes β€” but Horridus has been part of Erik Larsen's wild, sprawling world from nearly the very beginning. Over more than four decades, she's racked up 146 catalog appearances across Savage Dragon, Freak Force, and Savage Dragon Archives, keeping company with heavy hitters like Dragon, Mighty Man, and SuperPatriot along the way. Nine of those appearances carry key-issue status, a testament to how much collectors have come to value her place in this mythology. If you're diving deep into the Image era and want a character with genuine longevity and Bronze Age bones, Horridus is absolutely worth tracking down.
