Prism

Prism is an early Erik Larsen creation debuting in the self-published Graphic Fantasy #1 (1982), predating Image Comics itself. The character later appeared in Savage Dragon, associating with heroes like Dragon and Mighty Man.

Few characters can claim to have been there at the very beginning of Erik Larsen's creative universe — but Prism can, debuting in Graphic Fantasy #1 back in 1982, a Bronze Age original who predates Image Comics itself. That debut issue carries key-issue status, making it a genuine collector's prize and a fascinating piece of comics history. Prism's story stretches across nearly four decades, winding through the pages of Savage Dragon and keeping company with the likes of Dragon, Mighty Man, and Rock along the way. With roots this deep in Larsen's world, Prism is a rewarding discovery for any fan who loves tracing a universe back to its earliest, scrappiest origins.
