The Savage Dragon

Erik Larsen’s long-running creator-owned series for Image Comics, The Savage Dragon launched in 1997 and continues to this day, following a green-skinned, fin-headed Chicago police officer navigating a chaotic superhero world. Known for its bombastic action, dark humor, and sprawling cast, the book is entirely written and drawn by Larsen, making it one of the longest uninterrupted runs by a single creator in mainstream comics. It stands as a cornerstone of Image’s early identity and a testament to independent, creator-driven storytelling.
