Savage Dragon: #100 is Gone!
Image Comics has announced it has completely
sold out of Savage Dragon #100. A second printing, featuring an all-new
cover by creator Erik Larsen, was also announced. Look for future editions of
Diamond Daily for information on the second printing as it becomes
available.
To celebrate the one-hundredth issue and Tenth Anniversary of Savage Dragon, Larsen pulled out all the stops for a 100-page super spectacular, featuring an all-new 22-page lead story and ten additional back-up stories. The lead story is written, penciled and inked by Larsen, as usual, but the back-up stories feature inks by a veritable who's who of artists and inkers: John Beatty, Chris Eliopoulos, Al Gordon, Jerry Ordway, Mike Royer, Bill Sienkiewicz, Walter Simonson, Bruce Timm, Tim Townsend, and Bob Wiacek.
Rounding out Larsen's giant-sized extravaganza are pin-ups by Arthur Adams, Frank Cho, Carlos Pacheco, Frank Miller, Marc Silvestri and Bruce Timm, along with new comic strips by Chris Giarrusso ("Savage Bits"), Nick Derington and Brian Blake ("Savage Tales") and Chris Eliopoulos ("Desperate Time"), all of which pay tribute to Larsen's phenomenal 100-issue run.
Savage Dragon #100 sets a new record for the most consecutive issues of a comic book written and drawn by a single creator. Additionally, Larsen is the first and only Image founder to write and draw 100 consecutive issues of the title he launched in 1992 when Image Comics was first formed.
According to Eric Stephenson, Image Comics' Director of Marketing, interest in Savage Dragon has been growing over the past several months, resulting in increased reorder activity and favorable word-of-mouth about one of Image's longest-running series.
"I think a lot of the current buzz is in response to issue #100," Stephenson noted, "but a growing number of fans are coming around to the notion that Savage Dragon is a real labor of love for Erik. Not many creators stick with a any title for more than a few issues these days, and Erik's been hard at work on Savage Dragon for ten years now."
Larsen added: "Naturally, I'm tickled pink that readers have responded so positively to Savage Dragon #100. It was literally four full issues worth of material from me and that was no easy task to pull off. It's gratifying to see that all of that effort paid off. It's a terrific feeling watching the odometer roll over. I can't wait to get at the next couple hundred issues. It ought to be a hoot."
