Officer Phil Dirt

Officer Phil Dirt is a fixture of Erik Larsen's gritty, exhilarating Savage Dragon universe — one of those dependable supporting players who gives the world of Image's Chicago-set superhero saga its lived-in texture. Debuting in 1993 at the dawn of the Modern Age, this cop has shared the page with heavy hitters like Dragon, Officer Alex Wilde, Rapture, and Kurr across 21 catalog appearances and a 13-year run that stretches through Savage Dragon, Savage Dragon: Team-Ups, and Savage Dragon Archives. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, meaning collectors have taken notice. If you love the street-level backbone of Larsen's long-running Image epic, Officer Phil Dirt is exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
