Jerry Rivers

Jerry Rivers made his entrance into the Image Comics universe in 1994's Savage Dragon #11, a creation of the series' architect Erik Larsen during comics' Modern Age. Over nearly two decades, Rivers carved out a niche across a trio of interconnected titles — Savage Dragon, Freak Force, and The Deadly Duo — rubbing shoulders with heavyweights like Dragon, Malcolm Dragon, and Mako in that sprawling, anything-goes Chicago-set corner of the Image universe. His appearances may be select, but one of them carries genuine collector significance, making him the kind of deep-cut character that rewards fans who love digging into the rich supporting fabric that gives Larsen's long-running epic its texture and heart.
