These just came in yesterday. I've been wanting to get into the Savage Dragon universe for a while now so I'm glad I'll finally be able to. These are issues 1-3 and we're released in 1992.
I really tried to like the character back when he was new, but just couldn't ever get into him, or his world. Hopefully you'll have better luck with that :)
Ah, back in the prime of Image Comics, where it was all about the artist, and not the content. If you really want to dig into Savage Dragon, check out 1982's Graphic Fantasy number one for his first appearance (as just Dragon), and 1986's Megaton number 3 for his first appearance as Savage Dragon.
Was there a cartoon of this character? it seems familiar but I'm not that into comics. I remember seeing him dressed as police officer and having a girlfriend or something.
The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...
My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this! I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.

ReplyDeleteThe read wasn't incredible but every page offered a nice amount of action. I also like how a new villain made an appearance in every issue.
DeleteEric Larson was definitely looking to build a world, and I dug that aspect.

ReplyDeleteOooh, I shall 😉
DeleteI enjoyed these early Savage Dragon books, but my faves have to be his crossovers with the TMNT in the ongoing series issue #2 & #22!
ReplyDeleteGotta check those out.
