EYE-POPPING SAVAGE DRAGON VAULT EDITION HARDCOVER TO SHOWCASE ERIK LARSEN’S ICONIC ARTWORK THIS OCTOBER
The forthcoming Savage Dragon Vault Edition will collect the early creative origins of one of Image Comics’ titular, best-loved characters and longest-running titles. This highly anticipated edition will reproduce Erik Larsen’s iconic, original Savage Dragon miniseries artwork from the ‘90s, plus additional pages from the expanded Dragon miniseries that was released in 1996. It is set to hit shelves this October from Image Comics.
This limited print run Savage Dragon Vault Edition oversized (12×17) hardcover will treat fans with special, archival quality reproductions of the art boards for every image that was used for the Savage Dragon #1-3, The Dragon #1-5, and the first Savage Dragon trade paperback, including all covers and pin-ups. It collects Savage Dragon #1-3, plus additional material from The Dragon #1-5, and makes for the perfect addition to any longtime Savage Dragon fan’s library collection.
“As an artist who strives to learn, grow and improve, I’m a little embarrassed by these early efforts,” said Larsen. “I can’t help but see every misstep and every mistake. But when fans say, ‘your old stuff was better’—this is the old stuff they’re talking about.”
Larsen’s Savage Dragon is the longest-running, full-color comic book series to feature a single artist/writer and first launched, alongside the company’s founding, in 1992. It continues to release in trade paperback and hardcover collected editions and regularly releases new single issues. It is swiftly approaching its next milestone issue, #300.
Savage Dragon Vault Edition hardcover (ISBN: 9781534329591, Lunar Code 0624IM270) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 23 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 5.
Savage Dragon is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
