William Jonson

William Jonson is a supporting character who appeared in Graphic Fantasy #1, the early self-published anthology where Erik Larsen first introduced the characters and concepts that would eventually evolve into the Savage Dragon universe at Image Comics.

Few characters can claim they were there at the very beginning of one of comics' most enduring indie sagas — William Jonson made his debut in Graphic Fantasy #1 in 1982, the Bronze Age ground zero where Erik Larsen first laid the foundation for what would become the legendary Savage Dragon universe. Over four decades of Image Comics history, Jonson has kept extraordinary company, sharing pages with Dragon himself, Mighty Man, Star, Rock, and the enigmatic Kurr across titles like Savage Dragon, Savage Dragon Archives, and the ambitious Image United. With 45 catalog appearances and six recognized key issues to his name, this is a character whose longevity speaks for itself — a quiet testament to the rich, sprawling world Larsen built from those scrappy early pages. For collectors tracing the full arc of Image's creator-owned revolution, William Jonson is exactly the kind of figure worth seeking out.
