Savage Dragon TPB (2002-2005 Image) comic books 2002

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Baptism of Fire!" Collects Savage Dragon (1992 1st Series) #1-3 and extra material that bridges the gap between the mini series and the ongoing series. Story and art by Erik Larsen. Includes sketchbook and introduction by the creator. In this very first story arc, we meet Officer Dragon, a brand new cop in a Chicago overrun with super freaks and crime lords. Creator Erik Larsen takes big risks with storytelling, characterization, and plot, infusing this series with violence, sex, and humor in a way previously unseen in the genre. He takes liberties no other creator can, and will surprise you at every turn. This book retools and reworks the original trade paperback with more unpublished sketches and art! It's the mini-series that started it all with all the bonus pages from the first paperback, plus all the new pages from The Dragon miniseries! All this and more under a spectacular new cover! SC, 7x10, 160pg, FC Cover price $14.95.
