‘Savage Dragon Vault Edition’ Coming November 5th
by Olly MacNamee
Erik Larsen’s forthcoming Savage Dragon Vault Edition will collect the early “creative origins” of one of Image Comics’ longest-running titles. This oversized hardback collection reproduces Larsen’s original Savage Dragon miniseries as well as additional pages from the expanded Dragon miniseries from 1996.
“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.”
Larsen added to the above statement:
“As an artist who strives to learn, grow and improve, I’m a little embarrassed by these early efforts. 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.”
Savage Dragon Vault Edition hardcover out in comic book stores on Wednesday, October 23rd and book shops on Tuesday, November 5th from Image Comics.
