Explanation During Books Savage Dragon, Vol. 1: Baptism of Fire (Savage Dragon)
Το Savage Dragon είναι από τις αγαπημένες μου υπερηρωικες σειρές. Ήθελα λοιπόν, μετά από χρόνια, να ξαναπιάσω το από πού ξεκίνησε.Το στορυ ειναι απλό: ένας πράσινος άντρας ξυπνάει μέσα στις φλόγες με αμνησία (θα μάθουμε το πως κατέληξε έτσι χρόνια μετά) και κατατάσσεται στην αστυνομία για να τη βοηθήσει ενάντια σε υπερκακοποιους.
Τα πρώτα τεύχη είναι ένα δυνατό origin story που έχει έναν περίεργο ρυθμό και δεν είναι λίγες οι φορές που σκάνε διάφορα άσχετα λογυδρια (πχ ένας μονόλογος κατά της αστυνομικής βαρβαροτητας κατά των μαυρων- που ήταν και τότε τόσο επίκαιρη όσο και σήμερα ή μια μπηχτη για τον Spider-Man που τρέφεται ανεμπόδιστος με παιδάκια). Το καστ ακόμα είναι μικρό και εισάγεται σταδιακά.
Χωρίς να είναι τέλειο, είναι (μαζί με το invincible) ένα δείγμα του τι θα μπορούσε να ήταν η Image, ενώ, από όσο θυμάμαι, μόλις μπει στους επόμενους τόμους και θεμελιώσει το καστ, η σειρά γίνεται ένα καθαρό πενταρι (τουλάχιστον μέχρι το Savage World arc)

As a child growing up in Bellingham, Washington and Albion, California, Erik Larsen created seveal comic books featuring versions of a character named 'Dragon.' He eventually published a fanzine, which led to his doing professional work on a comic book called Megaton for creator Gary Carlson. It was here that he introduced the Dragon, a super powered superhero, to the comic-reading masses.After aAbsolute peak pulp comics here. Muscular mutant wakes up with amnesia and agrees to help local police fight off superpowered villains, and violence and drama ensues. Gorgeous, detailed illustrations, over-the-top badassery.. Savage Dragon is a ton of fun, but that enjoyment is tempered by its rendering and treatment of women. Yikes.
Read for TLP
I'm glad I finally got the chance to read Savage Dragon. It's fun, absurd, and absolutely a product of its time. The writing in this first volume can be cornball and a little too brisk, and the art isn't perfect, but it's fresh and a ton of fun to read. It's also deeply satisfying as the product of the one-man-army Erik Larsen has become. This is a silly, early Image book, but the history alone makes it worth the read.
Fantastic introduction and someone I could get used to reading.
The first volume of Savage Dragon is a bit rough around the edges, but having read the later volumes I know how awesome it becomes.Sure, there are some references that are dated and there are some things that are just way too on the nose, but despite that, it still manages to be fun and interesting.Overall, a great beginning of a series that obviously has a lot of potential.
Fantastic introduction and someone I could get used to reading.
