    If there was an appropriate Google search result to ‘a comic for a fan, by a fan’, Image Comics would show up with the Savage Dragon character. A constant since 1992, Savage Dragon is an artist’s take on the comic-book industry, poking harmless fun at the grievances that have been caused to him. Especially when a reader would put in parallel, the comic itself and the time during which each such Issue was released, it paints a picture of the modern age of comics akin to any history book on the topic.
    About the series - it is the title-holder for the longest-running comic book in full-color with the same artist and writer all these years. In the words of Erik Larsen, the said writer of this brilliant series, “it was always aimed at older Marvel readers who are about ready to throw in the towel on comics altogether. It's the missing link between Marvel and Vertigo. More mature than Marvel-less pretentious than Vertigo. The kind of comics I want to read. This book is REALLY self-indulgent.”

    I loved this comic! When image came out, everyone was all about Spawn (obv) and I believe they were called YOUNGBLOODS?
    But I loved Larsen's Spiderman run (of course), so I went rifgt for Savage Dragon and loved it.
    Ps-- The MAXX was great too

    Such an incredible video. Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon is one of the earliest non Marvel/DC comics I read many years ago, and I still have fond/great memories of it when I read the first two full-color trade paperbacks of it that were from the early 2000s. While they are in black-in-white pages only, The Savage Dragon Archives are still a great way to experience 600+ pages of the comics created by Erik Larsen. 😊

    Since savage dragon is canon in the invincible universe it would be cool if they brought him into the show, and even Eric Larsen himself said that he would let them put him into the show, only problem is rights stuff.

    My favorite of the Image founder books. Spawn was artistically better but, Savage Dragon was my favorite due to balls to the wall action, plot development, weird crass characters and adult material and humor. Real fun read back in the day:

    Good stuff. A few corrections/critiques:
    1. ~1:30 - The wrong Captain Marvel is cited. It should be the DC Captain Marvel.
    2. ~2:15 - Probably should’ve used the cover to the first issue of the mini-series instead of the ongoing.
    Could’ve mentioned that the comic runs in realtime, so thirty years have passed since the first issue. People have grown old, gotten married, had kids, and died. Dragon son has been the lead for years, and his grandkids are featuring more and more.

    To be honest, I have never collected Savage Dragon. I have seen the comic book on the racks in the store. Savage Dragon is a very powerful character. In my opinion, Savage Dragon ought to be pressing over 100tn. If I was a writer I would give Savage Dragon a variety of breath powers; lightning breath, fire breath, ice breath, chemical breath, explosive breath, and atomic breath to blast his adversaries. Big Time! Thanks for posting here. Guy!

    I had Savage Dragon, Spawn and all the other First Issues of Image Comics back in High School. They got lost in a Fire and I was so bummed, because I had so many Iconic Comics from the 90's that were destroyed. I wonder what those are worth right now, because I'd totally pay to get some of those back.

    Now I imagine in a new version of (SAVAGE DRAGON) cartoon series, the character’s wife is either an InHuman, or is a Mutant.

  • @ExeErdna
    @ExeErdna 2 года назад +1

    Savage Dragon is like American comics barrowing that Japanese Manga mentality of keeping the same guy overall on the comic for years. That's how you can build a damn good story. Instead of how it is now where a good creative team gets broken up after a few issues and quality clearly suffers due to differences in where they want the story to go. Which can and does lead to readers getting confused and abandoning works.
