Mark Jonson

Mark Jonson is a character created by Erik Larsen who debuted in the pre-Image self-published Graphic Fantasy #2 and later became part of the Savage Dragon universe, associating with figures such as Malcolm Dragon and Angel Murphy.

Few characters can claim to have been present at the very birth of an independent comics revolution, but Mark Jonson is one of them — debuting in Erik Larsen's Graphic Fantasy #2 back in 1982, a Bronze Age artifact that predates Image Comics itself and makes him a genuine piece of history. Larsen brought him into the Savage Dragon universe, where he's kept remarkable company over the decades alongside the likes of Malcolm Dragon, Angel Murphy, and Peter Jonson. With three key-issue appearances to his name and a publishing footprint stretching an impressive 43 years from 1982 all the way to 2025, Mark Jonson is the kind of quietly enduring figure that rewards the dedicated collector who digs deeper into Larsen's long-running saga. If you care about the DNA of Image Comics and the full sweep of Savage Dragon's world, he's absolutely worth tracking down.
