Mildred Darling

Mildred Darling made her entrance in the very first issue of The Savage Dragon in 1992 — meaning she's been part of Erik Larsen's creator-owned Image universe since its opening chapter, a distinction that carries real weight among collectors. Over more than three decades she's woven through the pages of Savage Dragon and its archives, sharing adventures with the likes of Dragon, Mighty Man, and Angel Murphy in a saga that has outlasted most of its contemporaries. With four key-issue appearances to her name and 41 catalog entries spanning 1992 to 2025, she's no background fixture — she's a genuine thread in the fabric of one of independent comics' most enduring runs. For fans who love digging into the deep lore of Image's foundational era, Mildred Darling is exactly the kind of character who rewards attention.
