Image Comics The Savage Dragon by Erik Larsen

A Hero Born from Fire and Mystery

Collecting the original three-issue miniseries that launched one of comics' most enduring independent heroes, The Savage Dragon Graphic Novel by Erik Larsen is an essential piece of Image Comics history.

The Story

A green-skinned, fin-headed man is found unconscious in a burning field in Chicago — no name, no memory, no past. Taken in and given the name Dragon, he soon discovers he possesses incredible superhuman strength, stamina, and a remarkable healing factor. When the city is overrun by a violent gang of super-powered criminals called the Vicious Circle, Dragon is recruited by the Chicago Police Department to fight back.

What follows is a relentless, action-packed battle across the city as Dragon faces off against wave after wave of monstrous foes — all while trying to piece together the mystery of who he really is and where he came from. Brutal, witty, and visually explosive, this is superhero storytelling with no filter and no brakes.
