Morose

Morose made their entrance into Erik Larsen and Jannie Wong's wild Image universe in Savage Dragon #40 in 1997, arriving during comics' energetic Modern Age with a name that practically dares you to underestimate them. With only a handful of catalogued appearances — including one collector-recognized key issue — this is precisely the kind of compact, intriguing presence that rewards the dedicated Savage Dragon deep-diver. Sharing pages with a memorable roster of bruisers and brawlers like Crusher, Smasher, and The Kid Avenger, Morose inhabits one of Image's most gloriously chaotic corners, and for fans who love hunting the overlooked gems tucked inside a landmark independent series, that's more than enough reason to seek them out.
